Help 100 Sickle Cell Anaemia Children in Uganda

Sickle cell anaemia: the African situation

This is a hereditary disease in which red blood cells take on a very sickle-like shape and, as a result, cannot perform all their functions as they should. Although it is widespread throughout the world, 80% of people with this disease live in sub-Saharan Africa, where the condition is often not diagnosed until it manifests its most severe symptoms.

Covid has made the situation worse

After two years of the pandemic, we have well understood how the presence of comorbidities exponentially increases the lethality of the virus. In a context such as Africa, where millions and millions of people suffer from chronic diseases that are often not properly treated, this trend is made even worse.

Chronic diseases in Africa are a major cause for concern for the pandemic's progress, greatly increasing the average mortality rate.

The outreach activities were successful with total 153 beneficiaries reached, 23 received food, sanitation item in kind this includes, Miaze flour, egg and soap etc..

We rely on your kind donations to keep doing the work we do. Every donation allows us to reach more children, run more activities, and improve the lives of those living with sickle cell.

Please don’t forget to share this cause with your friend and family. We appreciated your generosity for every dollar you give, we know every penny counts. Making your donations today and your love go further!

4 children have received the HYDROXYUREA for 2 months now and the medication have been effective to this children. We cant share their picture publically right because of child protection policies governing our activities.

 Thank you #StaySafe, #COVID19
