Open Eye Foundation

Open Eye Foundation Every day in South Africa, people await life-saving organ transplants, yet many never get the chance. Our founder, Mosa Mphore, knows this all too well.

We are dedicated to helping patients on the organ donation waiting list get a second chance to live full,healthy lives again, while inspiring all South Africans to step up and make a difference through blood and organ donation. At just 23, Mosa was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure, spending two years fighting for his life. A generous family’s organ donation gave him a second chance, and he’

s dedicated his life to ensuring others receive the same opportunity. With the Pedals and Provinces Cycle Tour, we’re riding to inspire people across the country to register as organ donors and support those facing the daily reality of organ failure. This year, the funds raised will support renal and liver failure patients in public hospitals who often lack essential resources for their physically challenging treatments. By helping with transportation to dialysis, food hampers, comfort items, and counseling, we aim to ease the burden for these patients and their families. Our Mission:
Your donation supports critical initiatives to:
1 - Raise Organ Donation Awareness: We’re cycling across provinces to bring attention to organ donation, aiming to increase organ donor registration by 20% across South Africa, especially in Gauteng and the Western Cape.
2 - Provide Essential Support for Patients: Many patients endure dialysis and other demanding treatments. We’re raising funds to provide transport, food hampers, comfort items, and counseling, making their treatment journeys more manageable.
3 - Launch the Transplant Assist Program (T.A.P): This living donor exchange program will guide families through the transplant process, connecting patients with potential donors—often their best chance for recovery. Mosa’s Journey and Open-Eye Foundation:
After receiving a life-saving kidney transplant in 2013, Mosa pledged to make a difference. His story became the foundation of Open-Eye Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness about chronic illnesses and the life-saving impact of organ donation. Through the Foundation, Mosa tirelessly advocates for organ donation, breaking down cultural misconceptions and inspiring others to say “yes” to giving the gift of life. "When you give your consent to organ donation, you’re giving someone else a second chance at life." – Mosa Mphore

🌟 Pedals and Provinces Cycle Tour: A Journey of Hope 🌟

From the energetic start on Friday to the inspiring finale on Sunday, the Pedals and Provinces Cycle Tour brought together cyclists, communities, and health advocates to raise awareness for organ donation.

Day 1 kicked off with yoga, spinning, and heartfelt stories from Themba Maswangai and Mosa Mphore, inspiring us to embrace healthier lifestyles and consider organ donation. Health services from ABBY Health and Wits Health Hub added value, while a 100km ride showcased cyclists’ endurance, ending with a warm welcome at Olyf Leaf Gym.

On Day 3, a scenic 40km ride through Llandudno concluded with coffee and cakes at the V&A Waterfront. Special guests Rentia and Hennie shared their moving transplant journey, reinforcing the life-changing power of organ donation.

💚 This event united communities, raising awareness and hope. Thank you to everyone who made it possible!

| Giving the Gift of Life: Mosa Mphore’s Inspiring Journey |

Mosa Mphore probably never imagined that his life would one day depend on an organ donation. But after a sudden diagnosis of end-stage kidney failure at just 22, he found himself fighting to survive, enduring long days of dialysis while waiting for the life-saving call that a kidney was available. Two years later, his miracle arrived: a kidney transplant that gave him a second chance at life.

Determined to turn his experience into a mission, Mosa founded the Open Eye Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness about the urgent need for organ donors. Through his foundation, he educates South Africans about organ donation and works to break down the misconceptions that prevent many people from considering it.

Now, Mosa calls on all South Africans to help save lives by becoming blood, tissue, and organ donors. And we can each play a part. You can support Mosa’s mission and the Open Eye Foundation by contributing to the Pedals and Provinces Cycle Tour—a campaign raising awareness and vital funds for this cause.

Together, let’s make sure more people have the chance to live full, healthy lives.
