Sankalp has indeed come a long way when it comes to organizing voluntary blood donation camps across the state of Karnataka. With more than six years of experience in organizing camps, let's see what the donors had to say when they donated blood in our drives-

This was my first blood donation so I was excited about this camp. It was well organized and well taken care of. - Prabin Saraya (EKA)

I want to wish the little kids with thalassemia a happy day and I want to mean it too.

Today is the world thalassemia day. All over the world organisations and individuals are celebrating this occasion. It did occur to me that having been involved with thalassemia for 2 years now - maybe we too should celebrate this day.

Sankalp India Foundation(S.I.F.) has been working for voluntary blood donation since 2003. Since 2011 S.I.F. has also taken up the cause of thalassemia management and cure. In last 2 years the organisation has supported more than 400 children with thalassemia through 2 thalassemia day care centers in Bangalore, one at Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health and the other at Rashtrotthana Parishat.
