Sickle Cell Disease Family Assistance Initiative

Introduction

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, with a disproportionately high impact on the African continent. Families affected by SCD often face numerous challenges, including limited access to healthcare, financial constraints, and social stigma. The Let’s Create Together Foundation aims to address these challenges through its SCD Family Assistance Initiative in Africa.

2. Collaborating with local healthcare providers to improve access to quality healthcare services for families affected by SCD, including specialized care and mental health services.
3. Organizing community-based educational programs to raise awareness about SCD and promote a better understanding of the disease in affected communities.
