What are ME grants?

Economic
Empowerment

With the support of Save One Life, we provide grants to members affected by bleeding disorders to start income generating activities, or to upgrade an existing one, to enhance productivity and all-round wellness.

These grants help parents of children living with bleeding disorders, and adults with bleeding disorders, to improve their family incomes by investing in new businesses or expanding small ones they already run.

  • Grants to start an income-generating activity
  • Funding to upgrade an existing business
  • Enhanced productivity and all-round wellness
