LETS MAKE HISTORY


About Campaign


The majority of the world's population has an urgent need for safe blood.

Of the estimated 80 million units of blood donated annually worldwide,
only 38% are collected in the developing world where 82% of the world's population lives.
In India any able-bodied individual between the age of 18 and 60 years can donate blood up to 168 times.
Around 8 million units of blood every year in our country needed but only half that is around 4 million units can be obtained from voluntary blood donors. Rest all comes from replacement blood donation from relatives or paid donors. Just three teaspoons of blood can save the life of a premature baby. If you donate blood, you can help in saving lives of many patients.
When we need blood for our self or for a relative, we think that its our right to receive blood. We are ready to pay money for a few bottles of blood but unfortunately it is not something that can be manufactured in a factory as needed
We at GO INDIA FOUNDATION felt the need of hour and thus decided to show the united effort of our great Nation. We have targeted for 63,000 units of Blood from all over India on our 63rd Independence Day.







Benefits to Donors

A Souvenir and a Certificate will also be given to all donors along with the Replacement Donor Card which they can use for their future need, if any. Refreshment will also be served to all Donors.
There are several Health benefits of Blood Donation:
Donors experience a 30 percent fewer incidents of heart disease and stroke compared to those people who did not.
Blood donation can reduce the overall iron levels in blood, which may protect against heart attack.
