Kevin Kararwa Leukaemia Trust

Kevin Kararwa Leukaemia Trust We create awareness, educate, engage and offer support to those suffering from leukaemia and other blood cancers.


“Anyone can be a hero”

Since being established in 2015, KKLT has sought to engage with BAME (black & minority ethnic communities to raise awareness of Leukaemia, educate and inform the community about Stem Cell Donation (commonly known as bone marrow donation), and encourage individuals to join the stem cell registry. Our aim is to increase the number of potential stem cell donors in the registry thus increasing BME community’s survival rates. We have done this through delivering presentations, distributing information leaflets, use of social media, organising events, seeking speaking opportunities in various BAME community gatherings, and partnering with places of worship to talk and holding registration drives. More recently we have started to expand our services to include the distribution of food parcels and provide emotional and physical support to people with blood cancers and their families, thus reducing their isolation/loneliness and increasing their emotional and mental well-being.

• Setting up and running information stands at community events and festivals
• Speaking with members of the public about blood cancer and stem cell donation

Recent reports highlight a worrying reality, Patients from ethnic minority backgrounds are less likely to find life-saving blood, stem cell, or organ donors because there are fewer registered donors from the same communities.

Matching donors often share similar genetic and ancestral backgrounds, which increases the chances of a successful transplant. When donor registries lack diversity, patients face longer waits, complications, or fewer treatment options.

🧬 Joining the stem cell register takes minutes.
If you’re 16–55, you could be the match someone is waiting for.

Don’t scroll past. Sign up. Share. Save a life.

🩸 Give Blood. Give Hope. Give Life.

For many people living with blood disorder illness, blood transfusions is not optional, it's essential. During treatment patients often rely on regular blood and platelet donations to stay strong and fight infection.
By giving blood, you are directly supporting individuals and helping them recover, stabilise, and continue their journey toward remission.

To book a blood donation appointment in England, you will need to create an account on the NHS Blood Donation website or use the "NHS Give Blood" app to find, book, and manage sessions in real-time.
