Appeal - Blood Service Endowment Fund
National Blood Service Zimbabwe
December 08, 2006

The National Blood Service Zimbabwe is recognised by World Health Organisation as a centre of excellence. With the assistance of the Swiss Red Cross we expect to attain ISO status early next year. We have had to face and deal with many problems which fortunately we have overcome.  

Because of the hyper-inflationary environment, the National Committee has decided to establish an Endowment Fund which will, we hope, help to safeguard the Service and enable it to continue to maintain the very high standards which we have attained.

We have approached the corporate business sector for donations to set up an Endowment Fund which will be capable of sustaining the Service. In order to administer the Endowment Fund in a transparent manner, a Trust Fund will be established which will be responsible for the fund. The Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer of the Service will be Trustees, ex officio; and the donors will elect additional Trustees.

The Service would like to appeal to all its well-wishers to make a donation to the Endowment Fund. If we have a sound financial foundation, we will continue to provide safe blood to meet the needs of the people of Zimbabwe.  

To do that we need your help and generosity. Please help us to sustain a very valuable service. Cheques should be made payable to Zimbabwe Blood Service Trust.  

Justice LG Smith (Retd.)
Chairman
