Temie Giwa-Tubosun (born Oluwaloni Olamide Giwa, 4 December 1985) is a Nigerian-American health manager, founder of LifeBank (formerly One Percent Project), an organization in Nigeria working to improve access to blood transfusions in the country.[1][2][3] In 2014 she was listed as one of the 100 Women "to take notice of now [and] in the future" who are making a difference around the world by the BBC.[4][5]

Of her work, Mark Zuckerberg said, in Lagos, on August 31, 2016, "If everyone had the opportunity to build something like this, then the world would be a better place... I've been to a lot of different cities... people around the world are trying to build stuff like that. If she actually pulls it off, then she'd show a model that will impact not just Lagos, not just Nigeria, but countries all around the world."[6][7][8]
