168 Lives Saved: How Hemolife and AIESEC in Jos Turned a Blood Drive into a Movement

At Hemolife, we believe that saving lives should not be complicated,it should be accessible, community-driven, and powered by purpose.

Recently, that belief came alive in a powerful way as we collaborated with AIESEC in Jos to host a blood drive that proved one thing clearly: when young people unite around impact, lives are changed.

A Small Event with Massive Impact

On Friday, December 5, 2025, at the Abuja Student Hostel, University of Jos, Hemolife and AIESEC in Jos came together under the AIESEC Health Day Initiative to educate, engage, and inspire students and residents around one critical cause, voluntary and regular blood donation.

What followed exceeded expectations.

By the Numbers:

  • 100+ people reached through awareness and education
  • 56 pints of blood donated
  • 53 new users onboarded on the Hemolife App
  • 168 lives potentially saved

This wasn’t just a blood drive. It was a reminder of what’s possible when technology meets community action.

Educating First, Saving Lives Next

A major focus of the drive was education. Many people still have fears or misconceptions around blood donation, who can donate, how often, and what impact it truly has.

Together with AIESEC volunteers, we broke down these myths, explained the importance of regular voluntary donation, and showed participants how one donation can save up to three lives.

The response was inspiring. Questions turned into conversations. Conversations turned into action.

Experiencing Blood Donation the Smarter Way

Beyond donating blood, participants were introduced to the Hemolife App, our solution to making blood donation smarter, more engaging, and seamless.

Using the app, participants saw how Hemolife:

  • Simplifies donor onboarding
  • Tracks donation history
  • Connects donors to real-life emergencies
  • Builds a trusted community of life-savers

For many, it was their first time seeing blood donation integrated with technology in such a user-friendly way, and the excitement was clear.

Powered by Partnership

Our partnership with AIESEC in Jos was anything but small. Their passion for youth-led impact and health advocacy aligned perfectly with Hemolife’s mission.

From mobilization to execution, the collaboration showed what happens when organizations with shared values come together to serve humanity.

Looking Ahead

This blood drive is not the end,it’s a beginning.

As Hemolife continues to expand, our focus remains clear:

  • Build strong community partnerships
  • Leverage technology for real-world impact
  • Make blood donation a lifestyle, not a one-time act

To everyone who donated, volunteered, educated, or simply showed up, thank you. You are the reason 168 lives now have hope.

Together, we are building a future where no one dies because blood was unavailable.
