2. Who we are:
The Triple Effect is a blood donation project initiated by the Mansour Charity
Foundation, the charity arm of PricewaterhouseCoopers Egypt.
Our project aims to address and alleviate the blood issue in Egypt by
encouraging Corporate & Active Youth Organizations in Universities to
participate in our sustainable integrated solution & strategy.
Regular voluntary non-remunerated blood donation (the foundation of a safe,
sustainable blood supply) and health promotions are core elements of the Triple
Effect.
We are committed to empower motivated & passionate employees and students
to lead their working environment in solving the blood issue in Egypt.
“Giving is the act of helping or providing someone with something
that is required, giving liberates the soul of givers, imagine how
good you will feel when donating blood.”
- Tarek Mansour, Senior Partner PwC Egypt

memorable and unique experience:
Hold campaign in a large company
meeting room or an attractive and
accessible location off site.
Provide a healthy meal or snacks

We invite you to:
Global Celebration of Donors in June 2012
“Countries worldwide celebrate World Blood Donor Day (WBDD) with events to raise
awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary
unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood.” - WHO
Celebration &
Recognition
The WBDD is a recognition of your efforts and
your contribution to helping those in need.
Donors from all over the world join in this
celebration together to highlight the unity among
donors worldwide.
In 2012, we would like to celebrate this day
together with our corporate partners* and
university partners to witness the impact of the
Triple Effect.
In collaboration with WHO, this day will celebrate the lives of
blood recipients that have been saved due to these blood
donations, and also to recognize the donors who have helped
make this possible.
This event is our way; the world’s way of saying THANK YOU.
We look forward to your participation in the
2012 WBDD!
