Riyadh – Jamad Al Awwal 09 1429/ May 14, 2008 – A brainchild of four technology-savvy young Saudis following the teachings of their faith, an online blood bank is assisting thousands of people, Muslims and non-Muslims in desperate need of blood donations. “The website is serving Muslims and non-Muslims alike,” Khalaf Al-Goudi, one of the founders of the www.freeblood.com , told IslamOnline. “It is quite often that a Muslim donates to a non-Muslim through our site,” he added. The website was established four years ago by Goudi, his cousin and two friends as a unique electronic blood bank that offers services to patients who need blood donations from around the world. It has built up a worldwide database of more than 15,000 donors.Source:  http://www.islamicnews.org.sa/en/1.php
