BDC – Blood Donors Club

A youth-led blood donation network saving lives across Kerala. 5,000+ volunteers responding to emergency and planned requests.

Introduction

The Blood Donors Club (BDC) was initiated by Helping Hands Charitable Trust in 2021 to build a reliable network of young voluntary blood donors across Kerala. What began as a simple coordination idea is today a life-saving initiative with 5,000+ registered volunteers who respond to emergency and planned blood requests — helping save lives daily.

UN SDG alignment

Why we started

Blood is one of the most critical, life-saving components in medicine — but also one of the most difficult to secure in an emergency

Blood is vital for saving lives, yet often hard to secure during emergencies — even in urban areas.

Surgeries

Accident trauma

Cancer and dialysis treatment

Thalassemia and rare blood group cases

Instead of depending on chance or public appeals, BDC offers a systematic, human-led response mechanism — powered by volunteers and empathy.

To ensure timely availability of safe, voluntary blood donors through a coordinated, inclusive, and technology-backed human network.
