Lietuvos asociacija Gyvastis

Founded in 1993, Lietuvos asociacija Gyvastis is a non-profit association based in Vilnius, Lithuania working on health.

Lietuvos asociacija Gyvastis is a Lithuanian association that has supported people with severe kidney disease, including those on dialysis, those who have received organ transplants, and those waiting for transplantation, together with their families, since 1993. It brings these patients together and promotes organ donation, including through public education on the subject and efforts to build a respectful attitude towards donation. Its activities include awareness campaigns, the Donor Card issued to adults who sign a consent form, and volunteering that offers psychological support and public outreach. The association works across Lithuania through its head office in Vilnius, a correspondence office in Kaunas, and affiliated regional kidney patient societies.
