When It’s Needed🩸

Had the thought of ‘how valuable could a single drop of blood be’ ever cross your mind? 

Do you know that there are thousands of helpless souls,pleading for a little blood to witness another sunrise? 

The National Blood Transfusion Service  (NBTS) of Sri Lanka, conducts a massive operation throughout the year to save such precious lives. NTBS which is an integral part of the National Health Service, is the institution responsible for collecting,  processing and delivering safe blood, blood components and blood products through 19 cluster centres and 77 peripheral blood banks situated island wide.

A special announcement made by the National Blood Transfusion Service on mid July 2020, regarding the current blood shortage prevailing in Sri Lanka’s blood bank, caught the immediate attention of the Rotaract Club of Badulla. Rotaractors of the Rotaract Club of Badulla took instant action, in organizing and conducting blood donation campaigns in Kandy, Colombo and Badulla. 

The primary aim of the project “When it’s Needed” was to mobilize as many blood donors as possible by launching extensive contributor awareness programs through social media networks and all possible media.  Many of the Rotaractors also volunteered in donating blood at the campaign. Inquiries were made by a large number of potential donors within a very short period and during the first couple of weeks more than hundred donors signed in to the project willingly and heartily.

Another remarkable project launched by the Rotaract Club of Badulla, concludedsuccessfully, healing a thousand lives by illuminating a beacon of care and hope.
