The vulnerable in society should not be underprivileged. There are so many needless deaths that can be prevented if everyone does his/her bit. Kwaaba Foundation helps the marginalized in society. In the area of health care, our efforts have been heavily centered around Blood Donation initiatives because we believe it is a cause that touches a lot of other causes and lives.

One out of 3 of us will need blood at some point in our lives. Surgeries have had to be postponed due to lack of blood. Every day, children and mothers in childbirth die as a result of acute blood loss. Cancer patients, accident victims, and other patients, need blood transfusion to survive.

The need for blood continues to be an issue worldwide and Ghana is no exception. As a country, Ghana has never met its blood requirement which is just 1% of the Ghanaian population (300,000).

By giving others the Gift of Life, the impact will go beyond that patient – touching families, loved ones, and society.

The Kwaaba Foundation started off World Blood Donor Month with fliers debunking popular misconceptions about blood donations and  The Unsung Heroes from the various regions were recognized on all our socials. For World Blood Day, and the rest of the month, photo booths were set up all over the country, and individuals were encouraged to take fun and exciting photos to spread awareness (about blood donation). World Blood Donor Month ended with a bang with our Virtual Kahoot Trivia Night. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated. Even though the month has ended, please remember that the plight for blood donation has not. Give blood and keep the world-beating.
