The Ukrainian Red Cross marks World Blood Donor Day with more than 20 events across Ukraine
This year, the Ukrainian Red Cross team once again joined blood donation initiatives in different regions of the country. Our volunteers and consultants from the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention programme conducted more than 120 information sessions and awareness-raising activities.
We do more than raise awareness about blood donation — we inspire people to become donors:
- conduct thematic sessions and distribute educational materials about the benefits of blood donation;
- provide practical advice for prospective donors;
- organise blood donation drives together with local blood services and promote a culture of blood donation;
- encourage volunteers and staff of the Ukrainian Red Cross to become donors themselves — because change starts with us;
- actively raise awareness about the importance of blood donation and how it helps people in need every day.
Every donor is invaluable. That is why Ukrainian Red Cross volunteers not only donated blood themselves but also helped raise awareness about the importance of blood donation and the difference it makes in the lives of people who rely on it every day.
Just 30 minutes of your time can help save up to three lives.
Become a blood donor — it is one of the most meaningful ways to help others.
