In every two seconds, a patient in India needs blood and one out of every three people will need blood in their lifetime.

To motivate people and convey importance of Blood donation, United Nation announced 14th June as World Blood Donor Day. India has also marked 1st October as voluntary blood donation day on 1 October.
The foundation has always been proactive in responding to health crises. The pandemic taught valuable lessons in terms of precautionary measures and building immunity. In crisis, the most vulnerable are the already sick poor people who neither have access to proper medication nor nutritious food to build their immunity. To address the problem of lack of access to nutritious food, the foundation in partnership with Taluka Health Office, Gondal came up with project ”POSHAN” to provide “protein and energy” rich food to 20 TB patients. The first phase of the “POSHAN” program saw overwhelming response both in terms of impact on patients and willingness of the govt. department. The foundation extended the program to 30 TB patients providing them nutritious “protein-energy” food kit for their speedy recovery. The foundation has also donated 35 Oxygen cylinders to govt. and private hospitals to improve their services to patients.
