# This Heritage Month, the South African National Blood Service and Round Table Southern Africa have launched the Bleed for Change campaign, running until February next year. The campaign aims to ensure there is no blood shortage by inspiring people to become regular donors and emphasising that every donation is a life-saving act. Currently, less than one-percent of South Africans donate, below the World Health Organisation’s one-to three-percent target.
