Aksi Donor Darah “Berani Donor, Berani Peduli” sebagai Media Edukasi dan Peningkatan Partisipasi Donor di Yogyakarta

Abstract

The insufficient availability of blood in many regions, including Yogyakarta, highlights the need for active public participation in blood donation programs. University students play a strategic role in this humanitarian effort through community service activities. This article aims to describe the implementation and outcomes of the blood donation program “Berani Donor, Berani Peduli,” organized by LPDP UNY Cohort 11.0. The program employed a service learning approach based on community education in collaboration with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) Yogyakarta. The activity was conducted on August 25, 2025, at the Student Centre of Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. The results showed high participant enthusiasm, with 45 attendees and 23 individuals successfully donating blood after health screening, resulting in 23 blood bags collected. The program contributed to blood availability while fostering students’ empathy and social awareness.
