The very first fund raising event was a swimming competition at Ikoyi Club on Sunday 28th November, 2004 in aid of children that couldn’t afford dialysis. The first meeting of the association, what would later be known as the Nathan Kidney Foundation was held in December 2005. Following that, more people came on board and the first meeting of the Board of Trustees was held on the 11th of May, 2006. We have been working quietly to provide support for those afflicted with this condition. The Nathan Kidney Foundation (NKF) is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit making and non-partisan association. It was formally registered in November 2007.
