“Pamoja nawe wakati wa dharura” — together in the moment of crisis.
Every specialised blood exchange gives a sickle cell warrior back their movement, their breath, their future. Your gift funds the care that stops permanent damage — before it happens.
A genetic blood disorder turns red cells rigid and sickle-shaped, blocking blood flow and oxygen to vital organs. In Tanzania, that emergency arrives thousands of times a year.
We fund ARCE: a specialised procedure that replaces 80–90% of damaged sickle cells with healthy donor blood in under four hours. It is what stands between a warrior and permanent disability.
Preventing the permanent loss of speech or movement in children.
Addressing life-threatening lung complications immediately.
Restoring the systemic health that lets open wounds finally heal.
Preventing permanent tissue damage and infertility.
BBF mobilises voluntary donors across Tanzania alongside the National Blood Transfusion Service. The safe blood a warrior needs is only ever there because someone showed up — and because someone helped pay for the care.
Every shilling from public donations goes directly to patient welfare — the exchange sessions that rescue warriors. BBF's administrative costs are handled entirely separately. What you give, a warrior receives.
From TZS 1,000 upward, every friend counts — in Tanzania or anywhere in the world. Give once, or become a monthly Shujaa.
