DKMS: One Swab, One Life – Standing Together Against Blood Cancer

Every three minutes, someone in the world hears the life-changing words: "You have blood cancer." For many, a stem cell transplant from a matching donor is their only chance of survival. Finding that match isn’t always easy—but that's where DKMS comes in. And that’s where we come in.

Our Beginning: From Pain to Purpose

DKMS began in Germany in 1991, born out of one family's loss and their hope to save others. When Peter Harf lost his wife, Mechtild, to leukemia, he didn’t just grieve—he acted. He founded DKMS to find matching donors for blood cancer patients who had no one else.

What started as a single act of love has now grown into a global community of millions—all driven by the same mission: to give people battling blood cancer a second chance at life.

What We Do, Together

At DKMS, we focus on one powerful thing: finding lifesaving stem cell donors. And that’s something we can all be a part of.

We register as potential donors by simply swabbing the inside of our cheeks and sending the sample to DKMS. If we’re found to be a match for someone in need, we could be the one person who can save their life.

It’s that simple. One swab. One life.

Our Impact So Far

  • Active in 7 countries, including India, the US, Germany, and South Africa
  • Over 100,000 lives saved through stem cell donations
  • More than 11 million people registered as potential donors

Behind every number is a face. A family. A second chance.

How We Can Help

The fight against blood cancer isn’t just for doctors or scientists. It’s a fight we can all take part in, with small, meaningful actions:

  • We can register as potential donors
    If we’re between 18 and 55 and in good general health, we can order a free swab kit online. It takes just a few minutes, and we stay on the registry until we're 61.
  • We can spread the word
    By sharing information about DKMS with friends, family, or online, we help others join the movement—and maybe save a life too.
  • We can organize or support donor drives
    At schools, workplaces, colleges, or local communities, we can host registration events that help more people get involved.
  • We can volunteer or donate
    Whether it’s our time, skills, or a financial contribution, every bit helps DKMS grow and support more patients.

Together, We Make Hope Possible

We don’t have to be scientists or superheroes to save lives. Sometimes, all it takes is a swab of our cheek and a willingness to say, "I’m here if someone needs me."

DKMS reminds us that hope is powerful—and even more powerful when we create it together. Let’s keep showing up for those still waiting for a match. Because someone out there is counting on us.

Mental Well-being is Just as Important as Physical Health

    The Invisible Struggle Whether you are a student, a parent, an employee or a retiree—mental health is important for everyone. It is not just freedom from illness, but emotional balance, resilience and a sense of purpose in life. Yet, it is often overlooked or misunderstood.                                                          Why is mental health important? Mental health affects the way we think, feel and behave. It helps us cope with stress, maintain relationships and make decisions. Just like it is important to take care of physical health, it is also important to take care of mental health. Eliminating stigma Mental health problems are common, but stigma keeps people silent. Opening up and showing empathy creates an environment where it's easier to ask for help.
