Finding blood in an emergency in Assam still depends on phone calls, WhatsApp forwards and luck. We have seen it first-hand.
Where NearBlood came from
Jan Briddhi Foundation ran a Free Floating Blood Bank: volunteer donors across Guwahati, Nalbari, Barpeta, Pathsala and Bongaigaon who gave blood on demand to patients in need. It worked, but it depended on a few people’s phones.
What NearBlood does
NearBlood is a platform that connects NGOs, clubs and organisations working in blood donation with people who need blood. When a request comes in, the partner organisations nearest to the patient can see it and arrange donors.
Where it stands today
The app is built, and we are onboarding organisations now. Blood requests will open once onboarding is complete.
