The Orgamites® Mighty Education Programme is a global organ donation and health education programme for kids aged 5-11. It uses educational resources, tools, toys, and tech to inspire and equip more students, teachers, and families everywhere to talk more about organ donation, and to take better care of their bodies, each other, and our world. Brought to life by a team of life-saving organs found in each one of us, the Orgamites® are also known as the ‘mighty organs’ because they represent the organs most needed for donation and transplantation. Focused on empowering children (via the grown-ups in their lives) to become captains of their own health, the Orgamites® Mighty Education Programme aims to address some of the most critical health crises facing the next generation (as identified by the World Health Organisation). Our partners include Live Life Give Life, the Onassis Foundation, Canadian Blood Services, Team Margot, Giving to Help Others, Northern Ireland Donation, the Public Health Agency, the British Transplant Society and European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT). Supported by NHS Blood and Transplant, Organ Donation Scotland. Official partner of the ESOT Congress in London, 2025.
