Every drop counts!
In a move aimed at saving lives and boosting Uganda’s dwindling blood reserves, Housing Finance Bank has announced its fifth annual blood donation drive in partnership with Universal M. Enterprises Affordable Housing and Uganda Blood Transfusion Services.
The life-saving exercise will take place on Friday, 10 July 2026, at the bank’s Head Office in Kololo, starting at 8:00am.
The bank is calling upon customers, employees, partners and members of the general public to turn up in large numbers and donate blood to help save thousands of Ugandans whose lives depend on regular blood supplies.
According to the organisers, the campaign is intended to strengthen Uganda’s national blood stock, which is crucial for patients requiring emergency treatment, mothers experiencing complications during childbirth, accident victims, surgical patients, cancer sufferers and many others battling life-threatening conditions.
The blood collected during the exercise will be handled by the Uganda Blood Transfusion Services before being tested, processed and distributed to hospitals and health facilities across the country where it is urgently needed.
The annual initiative has become one of Housing Finance Bank’s flagship corporate social responsibility programmes, reflecting the bank’s commitment to giving back to communities beyond providing financial services.
By bringing together employees, customers, business partners and the public, the bank hopes to make this year’s drive one of its biggest yet, helping replenish blood stocks and ensuring hospitals have enough supplies to respond to emergencies.
