It's Principle Wednesday! Today, we celebrate the 6th principle of our movement: UNITY There can be only one Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.

This partnership aims to enhance blood donation efforts, increase community awareness, and improve the efficiency of blood collection and distribution.

It's a Principle Wednesday! Today, we celebrate the 4th principle of our movement: INDEPENDENCE The Movement is independent. National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement. Therefore, in all our operations, we as Baphalali Eswatini Red Cross Society remain independent. #wearebaphalali #fundamentalprinciples #SavingLivesChangingMinds #KeepHumanityAlive
