Sickle Cell Support Foundation of Jamaica

Sickle Cell Support Foundation of Jamaica "We support families affected by Sickle Cell Disease and advocate for greater awareness, care, and resources. This was achieved in June 2015.

Our mission is to empower warriors, educate the public, and strengthen the fight against Sickle Cell in Jamaica." The Sickle Cell Support Foundation of Jamaica (SCSCJ) is a non-profit, registered charitable organisation founded in October 1992, by two sickle cell patients, Camille Daley and Morette Wright. Our mission is to provide support (social, emotional and material) to patients and their families and to share coping strategies which will enable them to live healthier, more meaningful lives. We also seek to heighten public awareness of sickle cell disorders (SCD) and dispel the many myths and misconceptions surrounding them. Each year we hold annual Sickle Cell Awareness Weeks and have produced an educational Get the Facts on Sickle Cell brochure and a Teachers' Guide to Sickle Cell Disease. We are an advocate for persons with sickle cell disorders and lobbied government in 1993 to restart newborn screening of babies in Jamaica. We also successfully lobbied along with the Sickle Cell Unit, UWI to have SCD added to list of illnesses supported by the National Health Fund. We seek remove the stigma attached to the disease which causes many persons to hide the condition for fear of discrimination. Ultimately we wish to create an enabling environment within which individuals with sickle cell disease can flourish and realize their true potential. We also assist persons who have not been able to complete school because of their illness and need remedial education, skills training, assistance with medication and medical procedures/tests and with funds to start or expand a small business. We need more members/volunteers to help us achieve these goals.
