Lifeblood Kaharagia

Lifeblood Kaharagia is the Principality's blood-donation recognition programme. Donors register their donations with the State and become eligible for the Medal of Merit for Blood Donations in four classes. Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Grand.

The programme runs inside the ePortal at eportal.kaharagia.org/lifeblood. The legacy address lifeblood.kaharagia.org redirects there.

What the programme does, and doesn't do

Lifeblood recognises donations. It does not collect blood, run drives, or operate clinical services. You give blood through whatever organisation you normally donate to (a national blood service, a hospital, a recognised collection centre); Lifeblood records the fact of the donation against your Kaharagian profile and tracks your progress toward the Medal of Merit.

In practice:

• You donate through a recognised blood-collection organisation in your country
• You record the donation in the Kaharagian ePortal, with supporting documentation from the organisation
• The State reviews and confirms the donation against your record
• You progress through the medal thresholds as your verified donation count grows

The Medal of Merit for Blood Donations

The decoration is awarded in four classes, by donation count:

Class	Donations
Bronze	25
Silver	50
Gold	75
Grand	100

Conferral takes place once the threshold is reached and the donations have been verified. The conferral appears in the Royal Kaharagian Gazette and on the public Honours registry. The medal itself may be issued in physical form according to the State's normal honours-administration practice.

Who can join

The programme is open to Kaharagian nationals and friends of the nation who give blood. Identity verification through K-Connect is required to participate so that donations can be recorded against a real, verified person.

Foreign nationals who donate blood and wish to be recognised by the Principality are welcome to participate.

Registering as a donor

Registration is implicit: the first time you submit a donation through the ePortal, your participation in the Lifeblood programme begins. You may also visit the Lifeblood landing page at any time to read about the programme.

Submitting a donation

Reach the submission flow from the Lifeblood landing page or directly at /lifeblood/submit.

Before you start

• Verified K-Connect account
• The date of donation (day, month, year)
• The type of donation: choose from:
  • Whole blood
  • Plasma
  • Platelets
  • Other
• Supporting documentation from the collection organisation (a receipt, donor card stamp, donation confirmation, or similar)

The form

1. Donation date: when the donation took place
2. Donation type: choose from the four options
3. Supporting documentation: upload the receipt or confirmation
4. Notes (optional), any clarifying information for the reviewing officer
5. Submit

After submission

1. You receive an inbox confirmation
2. An officer reviews the supporting documentation and approves the donation
3. The donation is added to your Lifeblood dashboard and counts toward your medal progress
4. You may receive an inbox message if the supporting documentation is unclear or insufficient, respond with better evidence

Your donor dashboard

Reach your dashboard at /lifeblood/dashboard. You'll see:

• Your verified donation count, by type and total
• Your current class (none, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Grand) and progress toward the next class
• A history of submitted donations, with their status (pending review, verified, rejected)
• A button to submit another donation

Each donation entry can be opened to see the date, type, supporting documentation, and any officer notes.

Privacy: health-adjacent data

Donation records include health-adjacent information (the fact and type of donation; supporting documentation that may include medical-adjacent details). The State treats this with heightened sensitivity:

• Access to Lifeblood records inside the State is limited to authorised personnel processing the programme
• Donation records are not used for any purpose outside the recognition programme
• The fact of medal conferral, once it occurs, is public (per the Honours system); the underlying donation count and individual donations are not published

For full detail see the ePortal Privacy Notice (Programme-Specific Data section on Lifeblood).

Common questions

• "What counts as a 'donation'?" A single donation event recorded by a recognised blood-collection organisation. One blood drive visit is one donation.
• "Does plasma count the same as whole blood?" All donation types count toward the donation count for medal purposes. The form distinguishes the type so the State has a complete record.
• "Can I submit historical donations from before I joined?" Yes, submit each one with the supporting documentation you have. Older donations may be accepted at officer discretion based on the available evidence.
• "My collection organisation doesn't issue receipts." Submit what you have, a donor-card stamp, an email confirmation, or a written attestation. The reviewing officer will judge sufficiency.
• "How do I get the physical medal?" Once a class threshold is met and conferral is gazetted, the State arranges issuance per normal honours-administration practice. You may be contacted via the inbox for delivery details.
• "Can I withdraw from the programme?" Yes, submit a request through the contact channel. Verified medals already conferred remain part of the public record (they are gazetted and cannot be retroactively un-conferred), but you can stop further donations being recorded.
