Our goal is to lessen the impact of sickle cell disease in Nigeria by promoting awareness, providing care, and funding research.

Our method integrates genetic counselling, genotyping, and health education.
As a prophylactic approach, educate the general public about sickle cell disease.
Encourage, equip, and raise the standard of care given to SCD patients.
Work together on SCD research with international institutions to enhance patient outcomes.
Create a vibrant network of supporters, volunteers, donors, and partners to help us realise our goal.

Sickle cell disorder is an inherited genetic disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell disorder have red blood cells that become hard and pointed instead of soft and round. Sickle cells cause anemia, pain and many other problems.
If you have sickle cell trait, you have inherited the gene for sickle cell disease. Sickle cell trait does not turn into sickle cell disorder. If someone has sickle cell trait and his partner has sickle cell trait they may produce a child with sickle cell anaemia.
Lung tissue damage, pain episodes and stroke. The blockage of blood flow caused by sickled cells also causes damage to most organs including the spleen, kidneys and liver.
