Advocating Hope and Support for Sickle Cell Warriors
Shem Sickle Cell Advocacy Foundation is a non-profit organization established on 14th June, 2019 and registered on 7th November, 2023. Shem Sickle Cell Advocacy Foundation is dedicated to creating a sickle cell free society through strategic public advocacy efforts worldwide. Our primary objectives include supporting, celebrating, and inspiring individuals living with the sickle cell condition, as well as providing sponsorships, relief materials, scholarship schemes, and entrepreneurship empowerment opportunities.
One of our key initiatives is to sponsor free genotype tests for individuals to raise awareness and promote early detection of the sickle cell trait. Additionally, we aim to establish sickle cell medical centres to provide specialized care and support for those affected by the condition. At Shem Sickle Cell Advocacy Foundation, we are committed to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals with sickle cell disease and their families.
The organization also partners and collaborates with federal, state, and local Government agencies, civil society organizations, other non-governmental organizations, community based organizations, institutions, and individuals especially in raising awareness on sickle cell disease, supporting patients living with the disease.
