Why Our Work Matters

Understanding the challenges we face in our community helps drive our mission forward

The prevalence rate of the sickle cell trait in our region is approximately 20%, significantly higher than the national average of 13.3%. This makes our work crucial for community health.

Many individuals remain unaware of their sickle cell status, leading to unexpected complications and challenges. Our awareness programs aim to bridge this critical knowledge gap.

Access to proper testing, diagnosis, and treatment remains a significant challenge. We work to improve healthcare accessibility and early detection through proactive screening programs.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Together, we can create a future where Sickle Cell Disease no longer limits the potential of individuals and families in our community. Your support helps us continue our vital work.
