SATSA OBJECTIVES

To demonstrate the improved quality of life following transplantation through participation in sports activities – National & World Transplant Games

To facilitate the participation of persons from previously disadvantaged communities, in the activities of SATSA;

To show recipients’ gratitude towards and recognition of living donors and families of deceased donors;

To promote awareness, educate and inform the general public with regard to the need for organ and tissue donation and transplantation and;

To facilitate co operation between persons and organisations concerned with and involved in organ donation and transplantation like the Organ Donor Foundation Patient Support Groups

The Transplant Games Association of South Africa (TGASA) was established in April 1994 by a small group of organ-transplantees, who felt the need for an organization that would promote an active lifestyle and an involvement in various sporting activities to transplant recipients.

These goals have been pursued ever since and a South African Team has been to every World Transplant Games since 1995. In September 2006 the Associations name was changed to South African Transplant Sports Association and a new Constitution adopted. The South Africa Transplant Sports Association is a member of the World Transplant Games Federation and is recognised by the Department of Sport and Recreation in South Africa, is a non-profit organization and are exempt from paying income tax (Fund- raising (NPO) No: 004-595).
