Popular morning show host of Winners FM, Kofi Anim Yirenkyi, has once again demonstrated his commitment to saving lives as he kicked off the 2025 edition of his annual blood donation campaign under the Anim Yirenkyi Foundation.
This yearโs exercise, themed โPeople Live When People Give,โ is being organized in collaboration with Winners FM, Vision FM and the Essam Government Hospital.
The campaign seeks to mobilize hundreds of voluntary donors, stressing the life-saving power of blood donations, with one pint capable of saving up to three lives.
Since its inception in 2014, the initiative has steadily grown into a flagship community health intervention in the Western North Region, attracting individuals, churches, schools, and corporate bodies.
Over the past decade, it has helped address the critical shortage of blood in hospitals, especially during emergencies.
Speaking to Sefwinews, Kofi Anim Yirenkyi passionately appealed for broader support, stressing the urgency of the cause.
โLives are being lost daily because hospitals do not have enough blood. We cannot stand by and watch our brothers, sisters, mothers, and children die when we have the power to save them,โ he said.
He further urged churches, schools, youth groups, and corporate organizations to join the campaign.
โI am pleading with every Ghanaianโthis is not just my project; it is our responsibility. If each of us gives even one pint, we can stock our hospitals and prevent needless deaths,โ he added.
Anim Yirenkyi also appealed to individuals, businesses, and corporate organizations to support the exercise through sponsorship.
He stressed the need for logistics, medical supplies, and financial resources to guarantee its success.
โThis campaign cannot thrive on goodwill aloneโwe also need the backing of companies, philanthropists, and all who are able to contribute in cash or kind. Your support will help us reach more people, save more lives, and make this initiative sustainable,โ he emphasized.
Organizers are confident that this yearโs turnout will surpass previous editions, ensuring that more hospitals in the Western North Region have access to adequate blood supplies.
