The Narmada Kidney Foundation was established in Mumbai, India in 1993, by Dr. Bharat V. Shah. Its aim is to support patients with renal problems, and to aid their families.
Its foundation was named after its founder's mother, Narmadaben Shah. "Life shared, life lived" is the Foundation's guiding principle. [1]

The Foundation's annual Transplant Games were first held in 2008;[2] Organ Donor’s Day has been celebrated every year since 1997, on 30 November.[3]
