Our Founder & Origin

BLOOD DONORS KERALA (BDK) is the visionary initiative of Mr. Vinod Bhaskaran, a KSRTC bus conductor from Changanacherry, Kottayam.

He started a Facebook page named “We Help” in 2011 to drive social change. Observing the endless need for blood in hospitals, he founded BDK in 2014 to guide unorganised blood requirements across Kerala.

Within a short span, BDK became a trusted blood donation channel for thousands. Today, it is a registered charitable trust (REG. NO. KTM/TC/840/2014) operating across Kerala, UAE, and Kuwait.

Despite increasing donors, blood remains scarce during emergencies. BDK bridges this gap by effectively connecting donors with recipients through a solid, energetic, and sincere coordinator network.

Our Journey & Mission

Within a short span of time, BDK became a preferred blood donation channel for many people in Kerala. Today, BDK is a registered charitable trust (REG. NO. KTM/TC/840/2014) with its wings spread across Kerala, UAE, and Kuwait.

Once every 2 seconds, someone somewhere is desperately in need of blood. More than 29 million units of blood components are transfused every year. However, only about 1% of our nation’s blood transfusion demand is met annually.

Despite the increase in the number of donors, blood remains in short supply during emergencies due to lack of information and accessibility. We strive to overcome these challenges by effectively connecting blood donors with recipients through our solid, energetic, and sincere coordinator network across Kerala, UAE, and Kuwait.

Team BDK has successfully coordinated every blood request received so far and has extended timely support to recipients who were desperately searching for a unit of blood.
