Corporate Sensitization Workshops

Bloodlink Foundation conducts education seminars for corporate organizations representatives, the aim of which is to dispel fears associated with blood donation and to educate them on the benefits of blood donation to the donor and society at large. The organizations are at the also encouraged to incorporate blood donation into their CSR activities. Blood donation is probably the only CSR activity that requires no budgetary commitment from these organizations. In the long term BLF hopes to recruit a sufficient number of organizations to ensure an adequate supply of safe blood for our hospitals at all times. Given that the shelf life of blood is only 30 days, the need for regular donors cannot be over emphasized. BLF targets to induct 200 corporate organizations by the end of March 2009. The target organizations will be based in Nairobi, Mombasa,Kisumu, Eldoret and Nakuru.

In total, Bloodlink Foundation has conducted 11 blood donor sensitization workshops for 246 corporate organizations with a total of 404 individuals trained this far.

Another corporate sensitization workshop will take place on 25th November 2008 at Sarova Panafric Hotel in Nairobi. Registration and attendance for this one day workshop is free. Those interested in representing their organizations should send us an email to this effect info@bloodlinkfoundation.org
