WELCOME TO CHIRANJEEVI CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

WELCOME TO CHIRANJEEVI CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

The idea of establishing The Chiranjeevi Charitable Foundation, had taken roots many years ago, when one fine day Chiranjeevi, the popular film star from Andhra pradesh, reflected on the fame and glory that the Telugu audiences across AP bestowed upon him.

Chiranjeevi was keen to repay the society for the unlimited love and affection being showered on him by the millions of people across A.P .He felt that the energy and enthusiasm of those millions had to be channelized into something more meaningful for the welfare of the society.

Chiranjeevi sought expert study to identify areas where extensive public participation can help build a healthy society.

There were thousands of poor and needy people who were suffering because of inadequate infrastructure that facilitated safe and screened blood supply. While thousands were suffering on account of being visually impaired. The study also revealed that there were many misconceptions and pre conceived notions about blood and eye donations. The experts opined that a person of Chiranjeevi's stature and caliber can bring about a significant change in the situation for the better, by his active participation.

Thus 'The Chiranjeevi Blood Bank' was started in the month of October 1998 with an aim to provide safe and screened blood, free of cost to the poor and needy.I

EYE BANK

VISION
To provide sight to visually impaired through collection and distribution of corneas from volunteer eye donations.

MISSION
To educate people about the importance of eye donation. To register and maintain a database of eye donors, To recover corneas posthumously from registered donors, and To distribute the corneas to the needy people.

The Chiranjeevi Eye Bank was started in the year 1998 to fulfill the service vision of its founder, the well known Telugu film star Mr. Chiranjeevi. The first ever appeal for eye donation to the public through media by Chiranjeevi resulted in an overwhelmingly spectacular response of over fifty thousand people pledging their eyes for posthumous use to provide vision to the visually impaired.

The Trust through the intensive efforts of the Eye bank has collected 775 pairs of eyes from the deceased donors who had pledged their eyes and provided vision to 1550 people who were visually impaired.

The Trust wishes to appoint counselors in each district to create awareness about eye donation and encourage the immediate family members of those donors who pledge their eyes to extend their cooperation to collect the eyes on the demise of such donors.

The Eye Bank along with the Blood bank is administered by the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, located at Jubilee Hills,  Hyderabad .

THE CHIRANJEEVI BLOOD BANK

THE CHIRANJEEVI BLOOD BANK MISSION:  In an age where medicine has advanced greatly, blood still remains a scarce life support, highly inaccessible. Added to which is the lurking danger of infected blood seeping into the system due to inadequate facilities and lack of awareness. At CCT our endeavor is to provide safe and screened blood to every single person in need of it. In years to come CCT envisages to eradicate deaths due to lack of adequate and safe blood supply in A.P and in India . POLICY: Chiranjeevi blood bank is perhaps the only blood bank in the state, where replacement of blood is not at all necessary. CCT provides blood absolutely free of cost to the needy and underprivileged. Besides CCT also incurs the costs of blood screening which is about Rs.750/- per unit .In case of economically backward and lower income group people CCT absorbs these screening costs completely. Persons who are white card holders or belong to the family of white card holders and or availing treatment at Government Hospitals are eligible for claiming exemption of screening costs. CCT provides a subsidy of 50% to those availing treatment at private nursing homes. In case of higher income groups, and those availing treatment at Corporate Hospitals, CCT still provides blood free of cost but the screening costs have to be borne by them. The Blood bank has provided 3000 donors directly to the Hospitals like NIMS, CARE, APOLLO, USHA MULLAPUDI in cases of emergency that required fresh blood. The Trust has established five voluntary blood donor clubs in Vishakahapatnam, Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Kakinada, and Hyderabad and intends to meet a target of setting up 50 such clubs to substantially increase the number of blood donations. A state of the art Components Preparation Unit to accommodate the recent developments in Blood Transfusion will also be added along with measures to upgrade the rest of the equipment Online registration Chiranjeevi Voluntary Blood Donor's Clubs 1 South House no: 4-2-16, 4th Lane, Laxmapuram,Guntur-522 007.

CCT Founder and Chairman Padmabhushan Dr Chiranjeevi Message

Dear Friends
I wish to share a few thoughts about our own journey, that is CCT.
I have been truly blessed in my life to have achieved this kind of success and recognition. I attribute them to the invaluable support of my loyal fans, well wishers and elders. Chiranjeevi eye and blood bank research and development center is the result of my quest to find an outlet to give back a small portion to the society, that has bestowed on me something I will never be able to fully repay.
Initially I was a bit apprehensive, about how far I would be able to carry this mission, of providing free blood, how consistently will I be able to secure the support of my fans in blood donations. However my fans have amazed me time and again with their overwhelming response. Not only them but bank employees, police officers, house wives, physically challenged people, in essence, people from all sections of the society have shown tremendous amount of enthusiasm to participate in this great human cause .

There have been occasions wherein some house wives confided in me about finding a genuine means through CCT , to give to the society. Occasions when even physically challenged people donated blood and told me that they have a sense of satisfaction of helping the needy. When even under aged children not realizing that they will not be allowed , wanted to donate blood . I feel extremely humbled by the love showered by all of them, my fans and supporters. Through the journey over the years in CCT, such images of an innate urge of these common people, to serve the needy, show me the path, strengthen my determination and give me the confidence to move ahead, to achieve our goal, of a society that is free from Corneal Blindness and Deaths due to the shortage of blood.

Your
Chiranjeevi
