The second largest country of Africa, full of paradoxes. On one hand, it is rich in natural resources (including cobalt, copper, coltan, crude oil, diamonds, gold); on the other hand, its inhabitants are among the poorest in the world. For decades, the DRC has been suffering from prolonged conflicts that have led to one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world.

Did you take a painkiller this morning? Or maybe you’re fighting off a mild cold?
It might seem like no big deal. But these small things can mean that tomorrow—on World Blood Donor Day—you won’t be able to donate blood. These strict safety procedures, in Poland and worldwide, are the foundation of modern transfusion medicine, protecting the lives and health of millions. Still, it’s frustrating when you want to help but simply can’t.
And you know what? We have a way around that. With us, being disqualified from donating blood becomes the best qualification for saving the life of a child with malaria.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the urgent need for blood collides with the harsh realities of poverty. Children who arrive at our hospital are often fighting two battles at once: hunger, which causes anemia, and malaria or tuberculosis, which destroy the red blood cells they have left. In these cases, a transfusion is the only way to bridge them to full nutritional therapy.
That rescue costs money. The hospital must purchase each unit from the regional center. The price reflects the cost of reagents, safe storage, and transport in a challenging environment. It’s the price of certainty that the blood is safe—just like here.
That’s why, on World Blood Donor Day, we invite you to give blood without restrictions! With us, you don’t need to fill out a form, because the local center takes care of safety. This could be the fastest and most important transfusion of your life. Gift a bag of blood to a child fighting for every breath.

They were handed over at the Rwandan border, from hand to hand, like the most precious baton in a relay. The […]

We are together where a world shaken by war and poverty forgets the individual. On three continents, in eleven countries, we strive not only […]

Children in Congo don’t have well-stocked toy stores. They play with whatever they can find—bottles, caps, stones. One of those stones, by unfortunate chance, hit Miracle straight in the eye. It seemed to be the end of her childhood. It’s hard to be a child when you can see only half the world—a world divided […]
