Tulu Koota Kuwait, a well-established cultural association serving the Tulu-speaking community in Kuwait for the past 26 years, was founded in 2000 with the objective of promoting unity through language and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Tulu Nadu.

The blood donation drive received an encouraging response, with around 110 participants attending the event. Among them, 80 individuals successfully donated blood, reflecting a strong sense of community responsibility and commitment to saving lives.
As a gesture of appreciation, donor kits were distributed to all blood donors. These kits were sponsored by Badr Medical Center, Farwaniya, Kuwait, whose continued support significantly contributed to the success of the initiative.
The smooth execution of the event was made possible through the dedicated efforts and valuable support of the association’s committee members.
