Our Causes
What We Do
Blood Saves Lives
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends collecting at least 10 bottles of blood per 1000 people (1% of the population) per annum (NBTS, 2018). Tanzania has an estimated population of 60 million people. Therefore, 600,000 bottles need to be collected per year. Currently, the National Safe Blood Transfusion Program collects an average 300,000 bottles annually. Blood is essential for pregnant mothers, heart, cancer and road accident’s patients. We educate and raise awareness on the importance of voluntary blood donations in the society. We organize regular public blood donation events in collaboration with companies, schools, sponsors, etc. We contribute to the trainings of health workers who are responsible for blood transfusion services. We donate blood transfusion equipment and ensure that they are maintained accordingly. Through community outreach programs and awareness campaigns, we encourage people to become regular blood donors, emphasizing the critical role each donation plays in saving lives. We do this in close partnership with the Blood Transfusion Services Program of the Ministry of Health in all regions.
Environmental Conservation
A clean and conserved environment is the root of a healthy society. Caring for the environment is fundamental to our mission. We promote climate resilient and sustainable practices such as circular economy, waste reduction, clean cooking and reforestation initiatives. Through educational workshops, clean-up events, and community projects, we empower individuals to take action to protect and preserve our natural resources for future generations.
Children, Youth, Adolescent and Women Health and Well-being
We are involved in all matters pertaining to children, youth, adolescent and women health including mental, sexual and reproductive health. We ensure that children and women who need safe blood services have a reliable access to the services. We also believe that physical activity is essential for maintaining good health and overall well-being. We believe that everyone should have access to opportunities for exercise and fitness. We inspire individuals of all ages to embrace an active lifestyle.
