From one message to a donor at the desk.
Everything happens in a single WhatsApp conversation, so no one has to download anything, make an account or remember a password.
For families and wards
- 1
Message LifeDrop
Tell us the hospital, ward, blood group and units needed. English or French.
- 2
We verify with the ward
We check the request slip or call the transfusion desk before alerting anyone. In a life-threatening emergency we alert and verify in parallel.
- 3
Matched donors are alerted
Only screened donors with the right blood group, nearby and past their 90-day recovery window.
- 4
Pay only when a donor confirms
13,000 FCFA through MTN MoMo, approved with your own PIN. If the donor doesn't show, you're refunded. If you can't pay, the Solidarity Access Fund covers you.
- 5
The donor arrives
You get the ETA and a desk code. The hospital takes over the medicine, and we follow up afterwards.
For donors
- 1
Join on WhatsApp
Share your blood group (or "don't know"), your area and a few health questions. It takes about two minutes.
- 2
Free screening
Blood typing, haemoglobin, blood pressure and infectious-disease testing at a partner hospital.
- 3
One alert, only when needed
When someone nearby needs your type, you get a simple yes/no message. No spam, no group blasts.
- 4
Your costs are covered
Transport, a meal and airtime, so giving never costs you anything. You are never paid for blood.
- 5
Rest, then repeat
We pause alerts for 90 days after you give. Reply STOP any time to pause, or DELETE to erase your record.
Play both sides of a match.
Tap the replies to walk it as a donor or as a family: answer the questions, make a match, handle the MoMo payment and see the solidarity waiver. Everything here uses sample data.

Strangers helping strangers only works if every step is trustworthy.
Every donor is screened
At a partner hospital, before their first match, with a short health questionnaire on every alert.
Every request is verified
With the ward or transfusion desk. Donors are never sent to a request that isn't real.
Clinicians do the medicine
Blood is collected, tested and transfused only in licensed hospitals. Medical guidance comes from our physician advisor.
Minimal data
We keep blood group, area and availability. Health answers protect the donor and are never shared with families.
Traceable payments
Every fee goes through MTN MoMo, approved with the requester's PIN and receipted.
Never a market for blood
Donors are paid nothing for blood. Paid donation pushes people to hide health risks, so it's illegal and unsafe.
