Walking Blood Bank
There’s more to you than you think
With Walking Blood Bank, learning your blood type becomes fast, accessible, and surprisingly effortless — thanks to the EldonCard that fits in your pocket.
This small step sparks a bigger mission: turning everyday people into prepared lifesavers and future blood donors.
About the project
Walking Blood Bank project was created to:
- increase public awareness of personal blood types;
- build a strong culture of voluntary, regular blood donation in Ukraine;
- support the national blood system during wartime and beyond;
- strengthen population preparedness for emergencies.
