Fridah Mcharo
Program Manager,
HOPE worldwide Kenya
Fridah Mcharo began her work for HOPE worldwide Kenya (HWWK) in 2005. She knew going into this field that it would be a challenge and require a different approach to the type of marketing in which she had experience. She considered the four cornerstones of marketing: Product, Price, Place and Promotion, asking herself how that might apply to blood donation. According to Fridah, “Knowing that blood is not any product you can pick from the shelf and pay a price for, we came to the conclusion that what we sell are the intangible benefits of donation to the potential donors, the satisfaction that one has saved a life.”
