In June, Khalsa Aid Australia is targeting 84 blood or plasma donations in each Australian state to commemorate two events: Vaisakhi - the Birth of the Khalsa - and the 1984 Sikh Genocide. Khalsa Aid is working with Red Cross Australia to reach a goal of 1800 blood donations by 30th June 2023.
Khalsa Aid Australia has begun its annual Blood Donation Drive. Across Australia, Khalsa Aid is encouraging volunteers and supporters to give blood to help those in need.
In Australia, 1 in 3 people will need blood or blood products in their lifetime, but only 3% of Australians give blood.
This event has now passed.
