Championing hope for every warrior — through awareness, support, and safe blood access.

Sickle cell disease is one of the leading causes of blood transfusion needs in our communities. This program raises awareness about the condition, promotes preventive education, and supports interventions that improve care for people living with sickle cell disorder. We work to ensure that those affected have access to safe blood, genetic counseling, and medical support.

Our Approach

Our approach blends awareness creation and healthcare collaboration to address both prevention and care. We work with healthcare providers, schools, patient advocacy groups, and the media to increase public understanding of sickle cell disease, encourage genotype testing, and support regular access to safe blood for affected individuals.

Through education campaigns and partnerships with medical professionals, we empower patients and families to manage the condition effectively while influencing health systems to prioritize better resources and policies for sickle cell care.
