Introduction

IPNA wants to promote education and screening in children with kidney diseases all over the world.

World Kidney Day is a wonderful opportunity to achieve this goal. Each year, IPNA organizes a contest to encourage such an action by providing USD 5,000 to the pediatric nephrology center(s) from a developing country throughout the World.

2026 Campaign & Theme:

Kidney Health for All – Caring for People, Protecting the Planet

Learn more about the campaign on the official World Kidney page here.

Below you can find details about the IPNA World Kidney Day (WKD) winning projects from previous years. These inspiring initiatives demonstrate the creativity, commitment, and global collaboration of IPNA members working to raise awareness about kidney health in children and young people.

The application process for the 2026 WKD Contest will open in November/December 2025. All IPNA members will be notified once submissions begin. We warmly encourage members from all regions to apply and share their innovative ideas and local activities that promote kidney health education, early detection, and community engagement.
