Our Work & Impact
Outreach & Testing Campaigns
In celebration of our founder’s birthday, we conducted 300 free genotype and blood group tests 100 of which were sponsored by Mrs. Timiebi Guwor, wife of the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly. This is only the beginning.
We take testing to the people schools, clinics, marketplaces, churches because early knowledge saves lives.
Warrior Support Programs
We run support circles and mentorship sessions for warriors and families dealing with Sickle Cell. From managing pain to managing dreams, we’re walking this journey together.
School & Youth Engagement
We teach the next generation that knowing your genotype is not fear it’s freedom. We run interactive school workshops, art campaigns, and peer education programs to spread the message creatively.
Advocacy & Awareness
We are raising a voice that can no longer be ignored. We engage policymakers, media outlets, and health institutions to treat SCD like the national health priority it is.

Your Questions Answered
Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells become rigid and sickle-shaped, causing blockages in blood flow and leading to pain, organ damage, and increased risk of infection.
You can know your genotype through a simple blood test. We offer free genotype testing at our outreach programs, or you can visit any medical laboratory for testing.
Absolutely! With proper management, medical care, and support, people with SCD can live fulfilling lives. Our founder is living proof - told she wouldn't see 18, now thriving at 28+ and helping others.
You can support by: 1) Educating yourself about SCD, 2) Being understanding during pain crises, 3) Encouraging hydration and rest, 4) Supporting organizations like ours, and 5) Helping raise awareness in your community.
