You will be inspired by our vision to end homelessness, and in turn will inspire others to act.

BloodForce
We work in Ghana to eliminate the burden of blood acquisition on providers and patients in crisis by leveraging technology to galvanize the public to increase Ghana’s Blood Collection Index to greater than 10 by 2030, because no patient in crisis should die from unavailability of blood products.
Ghana at 5.6 per 1000 population, is significantly behind WHO minimum standard [10 per 1,000 population] required to meet a country’s basic transfusion needs. As a result, restrictive blood disbursement policies have resulted in delayed care for critical patients in Ghana and in many cases, avoidable deaths.
We believe that public communities can be mobilized to close gaps in health care delivery, particularly in developing countries. BloodForce plans to build an online blood donor community that can reliably and meaningfully increase blood donation rates in Ghana while helping patients and families navigate their blood product health crises. This community will also serve as a platform for advocacy and education, strengthening transfusion services across the country.
Fundraising Lead
Volunteer Role Description (remote, unpaid)
The Fundraising Lead at BloodForce spearheads donor engagement, grant sourcing, and campaign development to support our mission of improving blood access in Ghana.
Weekly Time Commitment
4-6 hours per week
Duration of Volunteer Role (remote)
1-2 months
