Coordinating a lifelong transfusion schedule for hundreds of children is a logistics problem before it is a medical one. These are the systems we run to do it, and the tools we hand to other nonprofits who have their own version of the same problem.
A WhatsApp and voice agent for donors, patients and volunteers.
Veeru answers in the language someone writes in, registers donors, takes and routes blood requests, follows up on transfusions and medication, and hands over to a human coordinator when a conversation needs one. It answers factual questions from the same vetted question-and-answer set published on this site, so the agent and the website cannot tell people different things.
Standing donor groups, one per child, kept matched over years.
A child with thalassemia major needs a transfusion roughly every fifteen days for life. One donor cannot carry that; about ten can. The system holds the donor group for each child, tracks who last gave and when they become eligible again, and asks the right person at the right time instead of broadcasting to everyone.
Carrier screening from camps and partner labs, aggregated.
HPLC screening results from our camps and partner laboratories are recorded per person, per centre and per district, which is what lets us report a carrier rate rather than a count of tests. The aggregate is published with the number of records behind it.
A searchable view over the government's eRaktKosh availability data.
The stock figures are published by MOHFW's eRaktKosh, not by us; what we built is the search over them, so a family looking for a unit can filter by state and blood group instead of ringing centres one at a time. A listing is an indication, not a reservation — the centre still has to be called.
We built these for ourselves and left them open to anyone. No charge, and most need no account.
Every figure we publish is available as JSON, each one carrying the source it came from and the time it was read. Reuse it with attribution under CC BY 4.0.

The tools are free. If you run a nonprofit and need something we have already built, ask.
