ABSTRACT
Professional organizations, such as kidney foundations, have been active for over half a century in the field of nephrology, serving as the basic institutions for advocacy, disease education, prevention, and treatment. These organizations have focused efforts in four areas supporting the training of clinical specialists, raising awareness about kidney disease, improving patient outcomes, and organizing continuing medical education. These activities, while essential for the success of nephrology organizations, do not usually initiate renal service programs in the neediest of places. To remedy the lack of renal programs in many developing countries, the Sustainable Kidney Care Foundation (SKCF) was founded with the objective of establishing treatment programs for acute kidney injury (AKI) in areas of the world where none exist. Today SKCF is active in 5 sub-Saharan African countries and is growing.
