They Didn’t Just Donate Blood. They Donated Hope

SEGi marked a meaningful step towards health and community responsibility with its Blood Donation Drive 2025, held on 20 March at the Student Lounge, Level 1. The initiative drew 30 participants, each contributing not just blood, but hope and life to those in need. Organised under the Student Affairs department, this event highlighted the power of youth in responding to real-world healthcare challenges with compassion and urgency.

Blood donation remains one of the simplest yet most impactful acts a person can make. According to the World Health Organization, a single blood donation can save up to three lives. However, in many parts of the world, including Malaysia, consistent shortages continue to threaten emergency responses and routine medical procedures. Engaging students in this life-saving mission ensures that awareness spreads, habits change, and communities are better supported in times of crisis.

This event wasn’t just about collecting blood—it was about cultivating a culture of care. For many of the participants, it was their first experience donating, and the event provided a safe, guided environment to overcome hesitation and take part in something larger than themselves. It also reinforced the value of small, individual actions in creating sustainable cities where public health is everyone’s shared responsibility.

The SEGi College Subang Jaya’s Blood Donation Drive served as a reminder that education extends beyond academic excellence. It is equally about instilling values that encourage civic duty, empathy, and action. When students step up to give part of themselves for the wellbeing of strangers, they demonstrate the true meaning of leadership and solidarity.

This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
