Why give blood?

3 lives

Because in 30 minutes, you can save 3 lives!

500,000 bags

Because in Belgium, we need just under 500,000 bags per year to meet the need.

1 person in every 7

Because less than 1 person in 10 donates blood, whereas 1 in 7 will need blood someday.

Vital

Because we do not have anything that can replace blood.

We may all need blood one day!
