Whale Tank
A first of its kind shark-tank like program exclusively for Rotary clubs in District 3141 whereby a platform was offered to Rotary clubs to present their most impactful projects to four Whales or CSR heads / donors. After receipt of 54 submissions, 25 were invited to present before a Jury consisting of CSR specialists who further narrowed down the best 15 projects for the final round before the four Whales.
Donation to Kasturba Hospital
A blood cell counter machine was requested by Kasturba Hospital. This is critical for the first tests required to be conducted when a patient is admitted to the hospital, and high patient admissions to the hospital during COVID wave made this need more acute. Satisfied of the urgent need for said machine, this was deployed owing to efforts led by Rtn. Swati Shah.

Blood Donation Drive at Chaitanya Towers
Mindful of the acute shortage of blood across Mumbai hospitals, we organised another blood donation drive at Chaitanya towers. The logic of conducting the drive across gated comminities was to ensure prospective donors were met at their doorstep, and also had concerns as to COVID assuaged. As was the case with previous drives, this was well recieved and saw residents across the tower signing up to donate blood.

Blood donation camp at Lodha New Cuffe Parade
Rotary SOBO recognised the imminent need for blood in city hospitals, noting reserves had depleted on account of hesitancy to donate owing to the COVID risk. We decided to tie up with Saint Amand, a world-class facility manager and Hinduja Hospital for organising a series of blood donation camps across large building complexes. Near door-step access gave many the filip to donate and we had a successful drive at Lodha New Cuffe Parade, which will be replicated at other locations over the next few months.
