| Project Description | MOHAN Foundation’s patient support initiative, Anudaan – Making Transplants Affordable, ensures that no one is denied a second chance at life simply because they cannot afford a life-saving organ transplant. The funds raised through Anudaan are dedicated to supporting transplant surgeries for economically disadvantaged patients—both children and adults—battling end-stage organ failure. In 2025, the funds raised through the Tata Mumbai Marathon were utilised to support the liver transplant of a two-year-old child suffering from a rare genetic disorder. With no government hospitals in Maharashtra offering liver transplant programs, families are often forced to turn to private hospitals, where the costs are far beyond their means. Anudaan steps in to bridge this critical gap—covering a portion of surgery costs, essential investigations, hospital expenses, and vital post-transplant medication. It brings not just financial relief, but also hope, dignity, and the promise of a future to families standing at the edge of despair. | ||||||

| Impact | The funds raised were used to support the liver transplant of 2-year-old Usman Rehman Khan, diagnosed with Tyrosinemia Type I, a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder. Usman’s father, Mr. Rehman Aziz Khan, works at a local car wash and earns just ₹8,000 a month—barely enough to support their family of five, including his elderly father. “When doctors told us Usman needed a liver transplant, we were terrified—not just for his life, but because we had no way to afford it,” said Usman’s mother, Mrs. Amreen Rehman Khan. “MOHAN Foundation gave us hope and made his surgery possible. Today, as he recovers, we are filled with gratitude. Thank you for giving our son a second chance.” Anudaan, MOHAN Foundation’s patient support initiative, ensures that no one is denied a life-saving transplant for lack of funds. Your contribution at TMM 2025 didn’t just fund a surgery—it helped save a child’s life and brought renewed hope to his family. We are deeply thankful to every one of you for standing with us in this life-affirming mission. | ||||||

| Project Description | 125 Public Awareness events were conducted by our counsellors across Maharashtra, during TMM year 2023. Standees, banners, flyers (containing FAQs on organ donation) and Donor Cards were made. Standees and Banners were used as visuals aides prior to and during the awareness events such as awareness workshops and awareness kiosks. Such events were conducted in schools, colleges, offices, residential complexes, for staff of other NGOs, in police academies, as well as in hospitals & medical colleges for students and medicos. During such events, Informative Flyers are given out and the participants are encouraged to pledge their organs by signing up for a Donor Card either online or offline. MOHAN Foudnation'ss counsellors who conducted these programmes are highly trained Transplant Coordinators working in the Government Hospitals. In such events, they talk about the concepts of organ donation, importance of organ donation, what can be donated and by whom, some common myths and beliefs around organ donation and lastly how one can support organ donation (call to action). The Foundation has also created a few motivational films which are showed at such events. | ||||||

| Beneficiary Description | Direct beneficiaries of our awareness events are the general public, across age groups, gender, etc. Also the end beneficiaries of this programme are organ recipients who get the renewed lease of life through a life-saving organ, when the family of a brain dead patient has consented to donate their loved one's organs. This too is across age groups, genders and other categories of individuals. Since our initiatives are focussed on interventions inside and outside the Government Hospitals, every successful organ donation that happens, helps atleast one or more economically underprivileged patient get access to this life-saving medical advancement, free of cost or at subsidized cost in the public Hospital. No. of Beneficiarues under this Project = 8125 | ||||||
| Impact | Through the 125 awareness events, 8125 general public, police, medical staff in hospitals were made sensitized about the importance of organ donation, the dire need for supporting the cause and how they can do their bit to further the cause. Such awareness workshops are vital, as each participant from the general public is encouraged to normalise the conversation with their loved ones, around this difficult topic. Medicos are educated about the various aspects of organ donation and transplantation as this topic is not part of the formal MBBS curriculum. The police have an important role to play in Medico Legal cases where organ donation is a possibility - hence knowledge of their timely and important role is imparted to them. | ||||||
