AYA Staff Unite for Life-Saving Blood Donation Drive

Posted on March 04, 2025

AYA Bank PCL staff continued their commitment to saving lives as New Year Blood Donation Drive on 1st March, 2025. Under the inspiring message "Give Blood, Give Hope, Give Life ", the initiative reflected the Bank’s dedication to social responsibility and community support.  As part of the bank's anniversary celebrations, the Corporate Affairs Department initiated the life-saving blood donation drive in 2013, and this year marked the 10th event of this meaningful initiative.

Held at National Blood Center Myanmar, the event showcased enthusiastic participation from AYA Bank employees, who stepped forward to donate blood and make a meaningful difference. A total of (181) staff members from Rowe and River View Head Offices and Yangon Division (1) and (2) adhered to the National Blood Center’s guidelines and participated in the voluntary blood donation. Employees from branch offices donated from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, while employees from the head offices contributed in the afternoon until 3:30 PM as part of their life-saving blood donation efforts.

During the event, AYA Bank donated MMK 2 million to the National Blood Center and provided lunch for all staff at the National Blood Center. Additionally, as a token of appreciation, we presented commemorative gifts, along with energizing supplements such as medicine, snacks, eggs, and energy drinks, to our employees who participated in the blood donation drive.

Over the past ten years, this initiative has contributed to thousands of lives, reinforcing the importance of regular blood donation. It fulfills the need of Yangon General Hospital and other hospitals in Yangon Area to reserve blood for emergency and treatment readiness. On behalf of AYA Bank PCL, we would like to express gratitude to all participants, "This annual tradition is more than just a donation drive—it’s a way to give back to our community and start the new year with a spirit of generosity. We are proud of our staff’s unwavering support in making a life-saving impact."  We also extend our gratitude to staff from the Administration Department who attended and provided their support for this special occasion.

AYA Bank remains committed to corporate social responsibility and encourages others to join in the noble cause of blood donation. As the bank looks forward to future events, it continues to uphold its mission of giving hope and life to those in need.
