Be someone's Thursday.
Every child we care for has a circle of regular donors. One donation every 90 days keeps them in school for three more weeks.
01 Give blood
Join a donor circle.
We match you to a child with your blood group. Our Blood Circle app tracks your 90 days and messages you when it's your turn.

Our team checks your health on the day. If you can't give, you can still run a donor drive at your college or office.

02 Get tested
One test before you say yes.
Between 5 and 7 percent of Pakistanis carry the thalassemia trait, most without knowing. A single blood test tells you. If both partners carry it, our counsellors talk you through your options, in private.
What happens when both parents carry the trait?
- Half red: carries the trait, looks and feels healthy
- All red: thalassemia major
Both parents have the trait
- 25% chanceChild is healthy, no trait
- 50% chanceChild is a carrier (thalassemia minor), healthy
- 25% chanceChild has thalassemia major, needs blood for life
Each parent passes on one gene, by chance, like a coin toss. Press the button to see what one pregnancy could bring.
This chance is the same in every pregnancy. Carriers look and feel healthy, so only a blood test can tell you. Ours is free.
