Make your campus a lifesaving community

Together, We Can Recruit the Next Generation of Lifesaving Donors

At DKMS Africa, we believe that every student has the power to make a difference. By hosting Blood Stem Cell Donor Days on your campus, you can engage students in a meaningful cause that has the potential to save lives. With your support, we can recruit a diverse pool of donors committed to helping patients battling blood cancer and blood disorders. Join us in creating a vibrant community dedicated to making a lasting impact. By involving students in donor registration drives, you can foster a spirit of community service while contributing to the fight against blood cancer and disorders.

Invite us to your campus for engaging in-person or virtual donor registration events! We can participate in various student engagement activities, including:

• Orientation week: Allow us to introduce our mission and cause to new students during their first days on campus.
• Wellness and Health Days: We can provide information and facilitate donor drives at health-focused events.
• Fun Days: Engage students during lively events in your student centers, making registration both enjoyable and impactful.
• Registration Weeks & Freshers’ Days: Let us be part of these critical moments, creating awareness and encouraging students to sign up as potential lifesaving donors.
• Welcome days: Welcome new students and share our life-saving mission as they begin their journey on campus, creating an early awareness of the impact they can make.
• Sports Events: We’d love to set up donor drive stands during major matches and campus events, enhancing visibility and engagement.

We Offer:

1. Partnership Opportunities

UKZN X DKMS MOU Signing

At institutions like the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal, we have established a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that fosters collaboration and enables us to enhance our ability to connect with students, register more diverse stem cell donors, educate and raise awareness. We invite other universities to join us in this meaningful mission. Together, we can create impactful donor days that not only engage the student community but also make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by blood cancer and blood disorders.

2. Student Ambassadors and Volunteers

Another way to support our mission is through student volunteers and ambassadors who are passionate about making a difference. By working with DKMS Africa on campus, these individuals can help organize events, promote our cause, and encourage their peers to become donors. Together, we can ensure the success of donor days and create a strong community dedicated to fighting blood cancer.

3. Strategic Campus Presence

We aim to be present on the busiest days, with university ambassadors or figures to draw in more participants. This visibility can significantly increase turnout at our donor drives.

4. Engaging Communication

We can provide pre-event mailers and posters that communicate our cause and inform students about when we will be on campus. These materials can help raise awareness and motivate students to participate.

5. Visibility and Impact Tracking

Once matches are found, we’ll keep your institution updated on how many students have contributed to giving others a second chance at life. Our presence on campus not only engages students in meaningful community service but also enhances their overall university experience.
