World Children's Transplant Fund: "When the children of our world die needlessly and without hope, a piece of us dies with them whether we know it or not. And when we help just one to live, we find a small piece of immeasurable, indescribably joy." -- Mark A. Kroeker, Founder, WCTF

WCTF Locations

The Strategy of the World Children's Transplant Fund focuses on developing World Children's Transplant Centers attached to preexisting medical facilities in each of the selected site locations.

The site locations are selected by The World Children's Transplant Funds' Medical Board of Advisors. These physicians visit and research prospective centers to determine the best equipped facilities for introduction and/or expansion of pediatric organ transplantation. Regional site locations are selected based on the following:

  • Preexisting level of surgical competence in organ transplantation.
  • Preexisting level of regional medical technology available in the organ transplant field.
  • Geographic location and accessibility factor for outlying regions.
  • Extent of populace needs for organ transplantation.

The first step in establishing a World Children's Transplant Center is to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the chosen hospital. A MOA is a legal agreement signed by the WCTF, and the existing hospital, outlining the responsibilities of both parties to the Foundation's goal.

Once a MOA has been signed, The World Children's Transplant Center becomes a nonprofit foundation under the law of each nation. The foundation then serves as an auxiliary of the World Children's Transplant Fund.

A Director is selected to run each center under the direction of the World Children's Transplant Fund. The responsibilities of the Director lie in overseeing regional office operations, establishing regional public awareness campaigns, and conducting community fund-raising efforts to support the WCTF Development Triad.
