AIESEC in the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, embodies this mission by empowering students to lead initiatives that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One such initiative is Helping Hearts, a blood donation campaign aimed at providing a safe, pure, and adequate blood supply for patients in need.

Donating blood is not just a noble act; it is a way to make a profound difference. A single donation can save multiple lives, giving patients another chance to live, recover, and thrive. Each year, countless lives are lost due to blood losses resulting from surgeries, accidents, and other critical conditions. Helping Hearts provides you with the opportunity to contribute to this life-saving cause while also gaining valuable insights into debunking common myths about blood donation and understanding how donating blood can positively impact the health of donors.
