Since 2013, we have been at the forefront of education, research, advocacy, patient support and community outreach, working tirelessly to raise awareness and provide critical resources to those most in need of these.
Our mission is to empower individuals and communities to make informed decisions about Sickle Cell Disease, promote good health-seeking behaviours amongst patients and reduce stigma associated with Sickle Cell Disease.
With a range of projects and partnerships including health talks, medical screening and genetic counselling, mentorship programmes, research and conferences, we aim to bridge gaps in knowledge and care.
Together, we can create a world where individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease are supported, informed, and empowered. Together, we can all make informed choices about Sickle Cell Disease.
Our Impact
Sickle Life has made a significant impact in the lives of individuals and communities affected by Sickle Cell Disease since its inception in 2013
Our community health outreach programmes have provided education and raised awareness about Sickle Cell Disease to millions of people. Additionally, we have provided free Sickle Cell screening and counselling to thousands, promoting early and accurate diagnosis and informed decision-making.
Through our webinars and capacity-building workshops, we have trained numerous volunteers and advocates, enabling them advocate for themselves and lead impactful health advocacy initiatives. Our online support group offers a safe space for hundreds of individuals and families to connect, share experiences, and receive expert guidance.
Our Mentorship Project has empowered hundreds of young people, helping them navigate life with confidence to overcome the challenges associated with SCD.
Finally, our research work and conference presentations have helped bridge the gap between patients and healthcare professionals, fostering collaboration and advancing understanding of SCD.
Collectively, our efforts are creating lasting change by empowering informed decision-making, improving health outcomes, reducing stigma, and building a supportive community for persons affected by Sickle Cell Disease.
