Blood for Life, an award-winning NGO, was formed in 2010 to focus on educating and encouraging blood donations within the African and Caribbean communities. Recognizing the disparity in blood donation rates and the unique challenges faced by these communities, Blood for Life spearheaded initiatives to address both the shortage of blood donors and the misconceptions surrounding blood donation.
Blood for Life had 2 main objectives; (1) Raise awareness of the need for more black blood and organ donors (2) Support blood transfusion in low income countries through donation and maintenance of medical equipment and training.
Blood for Life have worked closely on various projects in partnership with institutions, government and non-government agencies, in Africa and the Caribbean supporting to establish an effective and sustainable blood bank.
