This phrase " It's not over until it's over" implies that you shouldn't give up or assume an outcome because a situation can change unexpectedly, even when things seem hopeless.

Keep fighting warriors.

Our fifth year celebration of the Feed A Warrior Today project outreach program and World sickle cell day event in Yaounde, June 21, 2005 was a success. We are grateful for all those who travelled from far and near to support. We reached out to over 100 sickle cell warriors and their care givers.

We had some of our partner organisation Joy2Endure present. The founder Arrey Echi demonstrated how to make healthy fruit juices that help to boost iron levels and detox the blood.

We were honoured to have the presence of comedian and MC Mr Ndze who was our key note speaker and Biradzem Benoit Yuven who was the MC.

Warriors and their care givers were so happy and extended their most sincere regards to the founder, Nora E E Molongwe.

Other participants were very happy and expressed their wishes while praying for more of such events across the country.

Some participants travelled from far and near to attend this event. We had participants from Limbe, Buea, Bamenda, Douala etc. The foundation's Nurse volunteer, Jam Emile educated warriors and told them all the necessary steps to take in order to live a pain free life. He also encouraged the community to show love to sickle cell warriors as this would boost their survival and societal inclusion.

We had talks from parents raising sickle cell kids, sibling to a sickle cell child, a pastor.

The founder, Nora, demonstrated the genotype compatibility and the risks involved of partners having AS +AS get married.

The organisation gave specially recognition awards to two of their volunteers who have been with them for many years. They appreciate the services they have rendered to the cause.

Bags containing fruits and vegetables are distributed to sickle cell warriors.

Winners of the Essay writing competition were announced too on the day

HAPPY WORLD SICKLE CELL DAY

June 19, is the World Sickle Cell Day – a day of raising awareness!

This year 2025, the World Sickle Disease Day theme is “Global Action, Local Impact: Empowering Communities for Effective Self-Advocacy.', a call to recognise the importance of community advocacy in fighting sickle cell disease.

Sickle Cell Disease is a group of inherited blood cell disorders.

World Sickle Cell Day is a United Nation’s recognised day to raise awareness of sickle cell at a national and international level. On 22nd December 2008, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that recognises sickle cell disease as a public health problem and “one of the world’s foremost genetic diseases.” The resolution calls for members to raise awareness of sickle cell on June 19th of each year at national and international level.

In Cameroon, around 20-25% of the population carries the sickle cell trait and the prevalence of the disease is estimated at 0.6 % in the general population. It is also estimated that almost 4000 babies will be born with a major sickle cell syndrome each year.

That's why it's very important to know your genotype so you can make informed choices while choosing a life partner and help us break the sickle cycle.

PLEASE WEAR RED and let's celebrate with all the warriors.
