Time has flown by and we have entered the 15th year of operations. When we started off in 2003, little did we know what distance we would have walked. Sankalp has progressed from a truly voluntary organisation to something that today employs nearly a dozen people in powerful change making roles.
Sankalp India Foundation's programs have often been designed with focus on maximizing benefit to the end recipient. Our Rakta Kranti program however is a little different. Here the focus is the donor the selfless, heroic blood donor. Through the nearly 950 blood donation drives and approximately 83000 units of blood collected, we have focused only on quality in drive execution with maximum compliance to standards.
World Health Organization (WHO) has been planning and adopting several measures to ensure that equity of care is never compromised or ignored in the delivery of healthcare.
