In September 2022, as we observed Sickle Cell Awareness Month, our NGO took a proactive stance by hosting an impactful Twitter Space dedicated to understanding and supporting individuals living with sickle cell disease. Under the banner “Dealing with Sickle Cell Disease: Celebrating Strength,” we welcomed esteemed guests Dr. Kelechi Okoro, Founder of Heal for Africa Initiative, and Ms. Damilola Ajibade, Founder of the Damilola Sickle Cell Foundation.

The session was a dynamic exchange, featuring heartfelt stories from warriors battling the disease and insights from medical experts addressing common questions. Our listeners engaged actively, contributing to a rich dialogue that highlighted the resilience and challenges faced by those affected by sickle cell disease.

To ensure the knowledge shared reached a wider audience, key takeaways were transformed into informative flyers and distributed across our digital platforms, amplifying the impact of our advocacy efforts.

Join us in our mission to educate, advocate, and empower. Together, we can create a future where every individual has the knowledge and support needed to live healthier lives.
