In Nigeria, thousands of children live with sickle cell disease, yet many cannot afford routine treatment.
In vulnerable communities, access to care is even more limited, leaving families to choose between survival and cost.
We bridge the gap by supporting access to routine and essential medications, delivering community-based health outreaches, and educating patients and caregivers while generating credible research and resources that support better policy.
Join us in improving access to healthcare, supporting individuals living with sickle cell disease, and advancing health education & advocacy where they are needed most.
