To inculcate the practice of voluntary blood donation among the general public.
To meet the blood donation need in Bengaluru city and surrounding districts for this precious resource MMBB wants to become a platform for life saving donations.
To build a strong network across hospitals, colleges, NGOs, religious institutions etc. to work together in order to meet this societal need.
To collaborate across communities to build strong bonds that will strengthen unity and foster peace in society.
