NearBlood: blood donation organisations, connected

Finding blood in an emergency still depends on phone calls and luck. NearBlood brings NGOs, clubs and organisations working in blood donation onto one platform, so a request reaches the people who can respond fastest.

Where it came from

From a volunteer blood bank to a platform.

NearBlood began as Jan Briddhi Foundation's Free Floating Blood Bank. Volunteer donors across Guwahati, Nalbari, Barpeta, Pathsala and Bongaigaon gave blood on demand to patients in need. We saw how much faster help arrives when the right organisations are connected, and built NearBlood to do that at scale.
