Since Africa collects most of its blood from high-school students, GBF saw a need to retain these young donors after they graduate.
Pledge 25 Club was developed to keep donors engaged after they leave school. Working with the Africa Society for Blood Transfusion, GBF is providing tools and resources to help expand this initiative across Africa.
By creating a local, national, and international blood donor family, Pledge 25 Club members serve their community by pledging to donate 25 units of blood by the age of 30.
Members also commit to leading a healthy, low-risk lifestyle to protect the patients receiving their life-saving blood.
