On March 10, 2022, we invite everyone to celebrate World Kidney Day and advance of kidney health education. Therefore, the is a token to remind World Kidney Day supporters of the primary function of their kidneys and their location in their bodies.

How to participate in the # campaign

Take a picture of yourself from the back or front and use your fists to indicate the location of your kidneys in your body. Reminder: They are located at the bottom of the abdomen, below the rib cage. This may vary if you are transplanted or born with only one kidney. [Tip: use a solid color shirt that makes your fists pop on the photo].
Add a photo frame on top (optional) – you have plenty of choices for your frame with different visuals explaining the key roles of your kidneys. [Download photo frames here].
Share the photo it on your social media with the hashtag .
Be creative and get your family and friends involved!
Don’t limit yourself to one photo – your kidneys perform many useful functions in your body. Share the knowledge with your social media community!
