Sponsor a Child

“Funding my university education for all four years was the best thing anyone could have done for me! As a senior high school student, I dreamed of going to university, but because I lost my dad and knew my mum did not have the finances, I was never sure it would be possible. Today my dream has come true. I express my sincere gratitude to Save One Life for contributing not only to my education, but also to my life. I knew I could not let you down, and this partly influenced my success as an honors student! ”

Our camp turned out to be an incredible success, providing the children with a dynamic and engaging experience. I’ve taken the liberty to attach photos of the Save One Life participants who enthusiastically joined us for the camp. Their joy and growth during these days were truly heartwarming.

Greetings from Hemophilia Society – Madras Chapter!!!We would like to update you that our youth camp “Rejuvenate” was successfully accomplished as planned, between 26th – 28th of January 2024.

This would not have been possible without the whole hearted support provided to us by Save One Life.
We wish to express our heartfelt “Thanks to Save One Life” at this juncture.

The participants thoroughly enjoyed the time there and all the fun and education that was part of the camp.
Please find attached some photos. These are only samples; we will share some more photos and a video collage in the coming days.

Thanks again for bringing a smile on the faces of our PWH !As said in our earlier email, we are sending you herewith a collage that showcases key highlights from our Youth Camp.

Right from the moment the participants landed energetically at the venue, it journeys you through all the action, including:

– The joyful and educational hydrotherapy session.

– Exhibition of talent and group activities by all the participants.

– A much-needed psycho-social session that taught about the need for grit and self-confidence.

– Opportunities and benefits available from the Government for PWH.

– A session about Hemophilia and carrier detection by one of the participants.

– A speech about how Save One Life is changing the life of PWHs.

– Informative sessions about the key activities handled by Hemophilia Society Madras Chapter and how the youth can contribute to the chapter activities.

– Memento distribution to participants, talent hunt winners, presenters and organizers.

– Feedback about the camp by the participants themselves.

The camp also had all the participants enjoying an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), where they learnt a lot about nuclear power and its beneficial uses.

Hope this brings a smile on your face, similar to the smile that your esteemed organization has brought on many hemophiliacs.

In December, our program partner, Jose Memorial Hemophilia Society – Kenya hosted their annual camp, made possible by Save One Life’s bleeding disorder camp fund. Jose Memorial Hemophilia Society – Kenya, shared their experience with us:

“Jasiri Camp was truly exceptional this time around. For the first time ever, we welcomed three girls with Von Willebrand Disease alongside our boys, a meaningful milestone that felt like a real breakthrough for us. We went all in with a full camp experience: sleeping in tents, cooking over open fires, and pushing ourselves in ways we hadn’t before.
One of [our] favorite moments was the cooking competition. We split everyone into two groups and honestly didn’t know what to expect. But these kids surprised us. The teamwork we witnessed was remarkable both teams came together to make ugali, helping each other and laughing through the chaos. [One camper] earned the title of most skillful camper after leading his team to victory with a stew that was genuinely delicious. That boy has skills.

Then came the adventure activities the wild swing, wild slide, and canopy walk. Some of these looked intimidating. But our campers showed up. They pushed through their fears and proved to themselves that hemophilia doesn’t get to decide what they can or cannot do. Of course, none of this would have been possible without proper factor coverage; we made sure everyone received their treatment before and after each activity so they could enjoy every moment safely.

But the part that really got [us] was the phone calls afterward. Parents [called us to say] they could already see positive changes in their sons and daughters—more confidence, more openness, more happiness. That feedback was deeply encouraging and confirmed what we hoped: we did something right, and the camp made a real difference in their lives.”

On her trip to India, Jenn met with six women who are all business owners in Davangere. These six women are Micro-Enterprise Grant recipients. We are so honored to have a vibrant community full of powerful women, starting their own businesses and taking care of their families!

“A heartfelt thank you to Save One Life for their incredible support of our beneficiaries! Through their Micro-Grant Program, we’ve witnessed firsthand how these vital funds are empowering individuals living with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders to build sustainable livelihoods.
These grants are providing opportunities for skills development, business growth, and financial independence. We are truly grateful for Save One Life’s commitment to improving the quality of life for our beneficiaries.”

We would like to share the story of Benjamin, who was recently awarded a micro-enterprise grant to start his own tailoring business. Benjamin is from Nigeria and has severe hemophilia A.

Benjamin began his journey with a two year apprenticeship, where he vigorously learned all aspects of the trade. By the time he graduated, he had become known in his neighborhood and church for being a tailor. Not only is Benjamin known for his skills, he is known as a proactive advocate for his bleeding disorder community. He is an active camp member and volunteers at local events. At only 21, he was ready to start his own business. Benjamin applied for a micro-enterprise grant to purchase the supplies needed to start his business, which he was awarded. Benjamin plans to give back to his community with the money earned from his business. Our program partners in Nigeria posted this beautiful message:

“Empowering Dreams, One Stitch at a Time! ✂️

We are thrilled to announce Benjamin Gwaza who received a microgrant to setup a sewing workshop. He was able to purchase both a manual and electric sewing machines! With this opportunity, he can now take his passion for sewing to the next level, creating beautiful designs and building a sustainable livelihood.

This is more than just a grant—it’s an investment in skill, independence, and a brighter future. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners, Save One Life, for making this possible. Your generosity is changing lives!

Congratulations, Benjamin! We can’t wait to see your creations.”

“I am writing to thank you for your generous scholarship. My mother placed me in an orphanage at the age of five. It was a lonely time and I had many bleeds as I was expected to perform physically challenging chores. I had a dream to become a nurse. Without your help I would never have succeeded. Today I have a job as a graduated nurse in the cardiology department of Iqraa Hospital with a reasonable salary. Your generosity has inspired me and I hope one day I will be able to help people with hemophilia achieve their goals just as you have helped me.”
