Our Projects

We conduct comprehensive training sessions for healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, and health workers. These programs focus on improving the diagnosis, treatment, and overall care of people living with Sickle Cell Disease. By equipping healthcare providers with the latest knowledge and best practices, we ensure better health outcomes for warriors across Uganda.

We empower caregivers and Sickle Cell warriors with essential financial literacy skills. Our programs teach basic financial management, including how to handle healthcare costs, develop savings strategies, and explore income-generating opportunities. This economic empowerment helps families better manage the financial burden of living with SCD.

Our annual national convention is a landmark event that brings together patients, families, medical experts, and policymakers. Participants share experiences, learn from each other, and collectively shape the Sickle Cell agenda in Uganda. This platform fosters collaboration and drives policy changes at the national level.

We host a high-impact annual run that serves multiple purposes: raising public awareness about Sickle Cell Disease, breaking down stigma, and mobilizing resources. Funds raised support warriors and community-based Sickle Cell programs, ensuring sustainable care and support for those in need.

We establish and support Gene Clubs in primary and secondary schools across Uganda. These clubs promote Sickle Cell education, foster peer awareness, and encourage responsible health practices among students. Early education helps reduce stigma and creates a more informed, supportive generation.

We have launched a dedicated project to provide scholarships, scholastic materials, and mentorship for children and youth living with SCD or from affected families. This initiative aims to reduce school dropouts and boost academic success, ensuring that warriors have equal opportunities to pursue their educational dreams.

We build the capacity of Village Health Teams at the grassroots level. These trained community members improve awareness, identify Sickle Cell cases early, and strengthen referral systems for timely care. VHTs serve as the critical link between communities and formal healthcare services.

We facilitate peer support groups where warriors can safely share experiences, offer emotional support, and mentor newly diagnosed individuals. These circles promote resilience, hope, and a sense of belonging. Knowing they are not alone in their journey helps warriors navigate challenges with confidence.

Through our mobile clinics, we bring screening, counseling, and basic healthcare services closer to underserved communities. This initiative is particularly vital in hard-to-reach areas where access to healthcare facilities is limited. We ensure no warrior is left behind regardless of their location.

We actively work with stakeholders and government agencies to advocate for national Sickle Cell policies. Our efforts focus on securing increased funding and ensuring SCD is prioritized in public health agendas. Systemic change is essential for sustainable impact at the national level.

These workshops equip caregivers with essential skills including nutrition management, home care techniques, stress management, and rights advocacy. By enhancing caregiving capabilities at the household level, we improve the quality of life for both warriors and their families, creating a supportive home environment.

We provide comprehensive counseling, peer support groups, and mental health awareness programs for warriors and families. This project specifically addresses trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression caused by the disease, recognizing that mental well-being is as crucial as physical health in the holistic care of sickle cell disease.
