Over 6,000 secondary school students across Kogi, Benue, Enugu, and neighbouring states were reached through the Next-Generation Programme of the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria at the God's Care Mission Annual Student Conference .

Students learned how to identify reliable diagnostic pathways, avoid misinformation, and make informed health decisions that can help prevent avoidable cases of sickle cell disorder.

By equipping young people with the right information at the right time, we are building a generation empowered to make healthier choices and reduce the burden of sickle cell disorder.

Did you know that SCD can quietly affect the kidneys over time?

Because sickled red blood cells can block tiny blood vessels and reduce oxygen supply, the kidneys are forced to work harder, and this strain can lead to long-term damage if not monitored.
Kidney health matters, especially for people living with Sickle Cell Disorder.

This World Kidney Day, we join the global call for Kidney Health for Everyone Living with Sickle Cell Disorder.

Caring for a child living with Sickle Cell Disorder requires patience, knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to their wellbeing.

This International Women’s Day, we honor mothers and caregivers who carry this responsibility with courage and intention. Women who advocate for their children, seek the right care, and continue to hope for healthier futures.

Because behind many SCD champions are women whose strength keeps the journey moving forward.
