Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria

Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria A global nonprofit leader in the fight against sickle cell disorder (SCD), championing the prevention, care, cure, and control of SCD ❤️🌍

The formation of the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria was preceded by the formation of Sickle Cell Clubs around the country and of the Federation of Sickle Cell Clubs of Nigeria in 1991. The Sickle Cell Club is a non-governmental, non - profit making patient/parent support and advocacy organization that is basically unsuited to addressing some other important issues in sickle cell disorder (SCD) con

trol, such as, research, capacity development, policy implementation, monitoring and evaluation in a sustained manner. In order to focus on these important issues, the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria was established in November 1994, as a non-governmental and non-profit making organisation dedicated to the proper care and control of sickle cell disorder in Nigeria.

Sickle Cell Disorder does not affect only the person living with it. Its impact reaches entire families physically, emotionally, and financially.We recognise that healthcare support is one part of the solution.

Through the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria Community Medical and Intervention Programme, hundreds of families in Kano state received much-needed support, including free routine medications to support treatment and care for several months, food palliative support to ease economic pressures, and health education on effective Sickle Cell management and care.

This is what effective and holistic Sickle Cell intervention looks like: supporting the individual, strengthening the family, and building healthier, more resilient communities.

But we cannot do this alone.

Partners, donors, institutions, and individuals who believe in a future beyond survival: your support can help us reach more families, provide essential medication and welfare support, strengthen livelihoods, and expand access to quality Sickle Cell care.

Partner with us to day drive this intervention to other states in Nigeria.

Together, we can turn compassion into action, support into impact, and hope into a future where people living with Sickle Cell Disorder and their families can thrive.

Thriving with Sickle Cell Disorder requires much more than treating pain crises.
Comprehensive care includes regular medical follow-up, healthy nutrition, hydration, mental health support, preventive screenings and access to the right healthcare professionals.

Every aspect of care contributes to a healthier, fuller life.
Living well is possible when care goes beyond emergencies.

As Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria’s greatest strength is its people.

Nigeria also bears the world’s highest burden of Sickle Cell Disorder, with thousands of children born with the condition every year.

This reality reminds us that population growth must be matched with stronger healthcare systems.

On this World Population Day, we reaffirm that every life counts.
Together, let’s create a Nigeria where every child has the opportunity not just to survive, but to thrive.
