Global Blood Fund

Recipient Agencies

Bloodlink Foundation is the Global Blood Fund's first beneficiary. Bloodlink works with the six blood transfusion centers in Kenya to recruit donors in businesses and schools. Did you know:

In Kenya, an estimated six patients die from blood related transfusion complications every hour.

Kenya needs 200,000 blood products annually. Its centers currently provide just 130,000 products, leaving a deficit of 70,000 products.
60 percent of the blood collected comes from school children -- ages 16 and up.
55 percent of blood donated is used to treat children with anemia and mothers during pregnancy and child birth.

The GBF is currently looking for additional beneficiary (recipient) agencies in Mexico, South America, Central America, and Asia.
