Blood cannot be manufactured in factories, it can only come from generous blood donors. To cater to this demand, Uddokta 64 Blood Bank was launched on 1st June, 2019 with an unparalleled objective of solving the problem of blood shortage in Bangladesh.
According to WHO data, India faces a shortage of 3 million blood units. This shortage can easily be eliminated if only an additional 2% of India’s youth donates blood. To make this possible, Uddokta 64 Blood Bank acts as a channel connecting voluntary blood donors with those who need blood. It is a youth-run organization and provides free help and specially works to target the poor and the needy.
Since its inception, the organization has grown a lot in terms of working for this cause. Uddokta 64 Blood Bank has developed a 360 degree solution to the problem of blood shortage. The model revolves around 4 focal points:
- Ensuring continuous, sufficient blood supply to blood banks through blood donation camps and weekly donations
- Improving awareness by organizing Street Plays, Info-Talks, Competitions
- Helping those in dire need by operating an emergency 24×7 helpline
- Establishing a network of youth across the country to lead the movement
