Roger Hau’ofa Kidney Foundation

On Tuesday (Feb18) , a media conference was organised by the foundation, to create awareness on Kidney disease, and the efforts that the foundation will be putting in, to helping those affected by kidney disease.

The Roger Hau’ofa Kidney Foundation held a media conference on Tuesday to make the public aware that it will be hosting its inaugural SHAVE 4 KIDNEYS awareness and fundraising event later this month.

Patron of the foundation and wife of the Prime Minister, Rachel Marape will be launching the foundation’s website during the event.

Founder of the foundation and daughter of late Roger Hau’ofa, Michelle Hau’ofa, said it was her father’s desire to use his own calamity to help others with similar kidney illnesses. 

“We all have different experience but there’s commonalities like that and we really began to see how difficult it is for our people. If you are diagnosed with kidney disease in PNG there is a 100 percent case fatality rate which means you die sooner, rather than later.”
