Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Red Hope
Project Red Hope is a collective initiative of the LASUCOM Millennium Fellows, designed to address the challenge of blood shortage in Nigeria and to promote the culture of voluntary blood donation among individuals.
To achieve its objectives, Project Red Hope was executed in two major phases:
Phase 1 – Online Awareness Webinar:
We organized a virtual sensitization program during which a haematology specialist and the executive Secretary of the blood transfusion service in our state was invited to discuss the realities of blood scarcity in Nigeria, its consequences, and the vital role of consistent blood donation. The webinar also highlighted myths and misconceptions surrounding blood donation while encouraging participants to become regular voluntary donors.
Phase 2 – Blood Donation Drive:
Following the awareness phase, we organized a blood donation exercise in collaboration with the Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service during which we were able to collect 88 pints of blood from student and staff of the college.
