Please email all questions and inquiries to jakidney.kids@gmail.com. The Jamaica Kidney Kids Foundation (JKKF) is a charity founded in 2012 with the goal to improve the care of children with kidney disease across Jamaica, especially the disenfranchised segment of society for whom it is next to impossible to afford treatment elsewhere. We achieve our goals by:
- Hospital support: Providing supplies to hospitals that care for such children (e.g. supplying the paediatric dialysis service at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) with consumables needed for life saving dialysis).

- Education: Hosting conferences, workshops, and public exhibitions to inform doctors and the public about new developments in renal care and the maintenance of good kidney health.

- Education: The JKKF Scholarship Fund – Assisted in sponsoring Paediatric Nephrology Fellowships abroad for 2 Jamaican paediatricians who have now returned as paediatric kidney specialists:one at the University Hospital of the West Indies and the other at Cornwall Regional Hospital.

- Family Support Group: Providing emotional support for families of children with kidney disease. The Directors of this Foundation are:
- Dr. Maolynne Miller,
- Mr. Craig Chin,
- Mr. Andrew Cocking, and
- Ms.Erin Hayle

Every heard of Green Dialysis?
…A movement to make kidney care sustainable by drastically cutting the high water, energy, and plastic waste generated by dialysis, focusing on solutions like water recycling, efficient machines, renewable energy, and home dialysis to reduce the environmental footprint while maintaining quality care.

A healthier you AND a healthier environment!👍🏾👍🏾

It’s a new year! Healthy habits begin with small, manageable changes focused on nutrition, movement, sleep, and mental well-being. Cheers to drinking more water, adding fruits or veggies, short exercise bursts, and mindful breaks for a balanced lifestyle!!

When your kidneys don’t work as well as they should, they cannot filter your blood properly, which can lead to a build up of vitamins and minerals in your blood.

Keep track of your nutrients!
