Every two seconds, someone in India needs blood, yet thousands lose their lives due to shortages and delays. Thalassemia warriors, accident victims, cancer patients, and new mothers often struggle to access timely transfusions, putting their lives at risk. Despite growing awareness, voluntary blood donation remains inconsistent, leading to critical gaps in availability.
That’s where we step in—Khoon is committed to ensuring that no one dies due to a lack of blood.
Through our nationwide network of donors, hospitals, and volunteers, we bridge the gap between patients and life-saving blood. We use technology to mobilize donors in real time, making blood access faster and more reliable. But the challenge is far from over. We need your support to expand our donor-patient matching system, sustain blood transfusions for thalassemia patients, and provide emergency blood support for critical cases.
Your contribution will directly help us strengthen India’s voluntary blood donation culture, ensuring that every patient gets the care they need, when they need it the most.

Every year, India faces a 1.9 million-unit blood shortage, leaving thousands without lifesaving treatment. In 2016, Chethan Manchegowda founded Khoon at just 15, driven by a vision where no one suffers due to a lack of blood.
What started as a youth-led effort has now mobilized 1.5 lakh donors, saving or improving 1.2 lakh lives. Now part of Jaanavi Social Welfare Foundation, Khoon collaborates with governments and platforms like Facebook for Blood Donations to connect donors and patients efficiently.
Through innovative blood donation drives at festivals, corporate events, and community gatherings, Khoon has made voluntary donation inspiring and accessible, fostering a nationwide culture of giving.
