HWPL and Mongolia’s National Center for Transfusion Co-host Blood Donation Day – July 3 Officially Designated as HWPL Blood Donation Day

 

 

The Ministry of Health and Welfare of Mongolia designated the 3rd of every month as “Blood Donation Day” in April 2015 to stabilize the national blood supply and raise awareness of blood donation. Since then, the National Center for Transfusion has taken the lead in promoting blood donation policies and expanding public participation.

Since 2023, HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) Mongolia Branch has regularly conducted voluntary blood donation campaigns in support of government policies and to promote a culture of respect for life. In 2025, HWPL signed an MOU with Mongolia’s National Center for Transfusion, establishing a framework for cooperation.

 

 

On July 3, 2025, the official “HWPL Blood Donation Day” was held at the New Hall of the National Library of Mongolia in Ulaanbaatar. At this event, the two organizations renewed their MOU, officially designating July 3 as HWPL’s Blood Donation Day, and agreed to conduct regular joint events to promote sustainable blood donation campaigns. This clause was also included in the updated MOU, further solidifying the institutional foundation for cooperation.

The event was co-hosted and organized by HWPL Mongolia Branch and the National Center for Transfusion, with approximately 150 participants, including citizens, government officials, NGO representatives, lifelong education center staff, and volunteers. The event featured:

      • MOU signing ceremony
      • Commendation of frequent blood donors
      • Group blood donation
      • Public participation programs
      • Blood donation education
      • Promotional booths

The event went beyond a simple act of sharing life, providing a meaningful opportunity to experience the values of community solidarity and peace in everyday life.

 

 

Amid concerns over seasonal blood shortages, especially during summer, the importance of public-led life-saving campaigns is being increasingly emphasized. HWPL is emerging as a leading civil society organization that practices the values of peace, life, and community. It continues to build trust with the government and various institutions while expanding its activities beyond blood donation to include peace education and civic campaigns.

 

 

Attendees described the event as a “meaningful time to realize the values of community and peace through blood donation,” and expressed their willingness to support and participate in HWPL’s volunteer and public-interest activities in the future. Even those unable to attend shared their support for HWPL’s mission and indicated a desire for continued cooperation, reflecting the growing public recognition of HWPL’s social role.

Through this event, HWPL demonstrated its strong civic engagement and practical peace-building capacity. The renewed MOU and joint declaration laid the groundwork for institutionalizing a culture of blood donation and expanding it into a sustainable platform for life-sharing initiatives.
