We create awareness, educate, engage and offer support to those suffering from leukaemia and other blood cancers.
Since our establishment in 2015, the Kevin Kararwa Leukaemia Trust (KKLT) has been committed to engaging with BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) communities to raise awareness about leukaemia. Our aim is to educate and inform these communities about stem cell donation (commonly known as bone marrow donation) and to encourage individuals to join the stem cell registry. By increasing the number of potential stem cell donors, we hope to improve survival rates within BAME communities.
What We Do

We deliver presentations, distribute information, and use social media to raise awareness about leukaemia and stem cell donation.
Community Engagement
We partner with BAME communities, places of worship, and organizations to host registration drives and events.
Patient Support
We provide food parcels, emotional support, and counseling services to patients and families affected by blood cancers.

What is life all about?
Although we did not choose to be here, we are responsible for our choices as we grow in life. Life is full of challenges. Some of which break us and put us at crossroads where we ask questions about life and its purpose. Do you want to understand what life is and how to live a fulfilled and satisfying one? Unfortunately, not many people know how, but this book answers those questions. Within these pages, Veronica, a professional therapist with almost two decades of experience, shares invaluable insights and tools for self-discovery and meaningful living. She draws upon her own purpose-driven life, deeply impacted by the tragic loss of her son to leukaemia. Her personal journey to recovery and professional experience as a mental health practitioner inspire the principles within this book. Like a life-coaching session, she guides you on the path to self-discovery and inner wellbeing.
