My name is Taiwo Okereji, COO of Arise Kidney Foundation.I am a nephrology RN with years of experience caring for dialysis and end stage kidney disease patients in the United States of America.
The Idea for Arise Kidney Foundation came from experiencing first-hand how end stage renal disease patients in Nigeria struggle to cope with the high cost of weekly dialysis due to high level of poverty and lack of governmental assistance as obtained in the US. Dialysis is a very expensive procedure and patients in Nigeria and other sub saharan countries unfortunately have to choose between this life saving treatment and not being a drain on their meagre family resource.
This is where our team comes in comprising of like minded people that have experienced the difficulty faced by these patients and have a common goal of alleviating their financial and health burdens.
Tosin Okereji is a registered nurse with field experience working with Dialysis patients in Nigeria and first hand experience of how this patients have difficulty coping with weekly dialysis is a major spur for the development of this foundation.
Toba Olayinka is an American trained medical doctor that will bring his wealth of experience to bear on addressing the medical needs of these patients.
Daramola Mary is a seasoned Nephrology nurse with over 20 years' experience, based in Nigeria and tasked with handling field related issues with patients under our services.
With this team we collectively hope to bring respite to these subsets of patients, lifting them up from this nadir of life and giving them hope to continue living a meaningful life, while also assisting with resources for transplant and daily medications.
Arise Kidney Foundation was incorporated in Dallas, Texas in 2023, however, out history goes deeper. Members of our team, collectively over 40 years working with dialysis patients.
