Please email all questions and inquiries to [email protected]. 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

Three important things your kidneys do every day!
1. Filter your blood
2. Control blood pressure
3. Make red blood cells

Kidney disease in children impairs the body’s ability to filter waste and balance fluids.

Common causes include birth defects and genetic conditions, with symptoms often presenting as unusual swelling, poor growth, or fatigue.

Call us for more information on how you can manage your child’s kidney issues. 876-832-5805.

Children living with kidney disease can face immense emotional stress from frequent hospitalizations, dietary restrictions, and dialysis, which significantly increases their risk of depression and anxiety.

Talk to your children and get a better understanding of how they are being affected.
