Bringing Healthcare to the Rural Doorsteps
Our Mission
Ensure the early detection, proper management, and treatment of sickle cell disorder; Promote and improve the quality of life of sickle cell patients
Provide outreach, awareness, case management, screening, nutrition, and counseling services.
In 2007, we embarked on a journey of care, full of challenges, into the sickle cell community of Cameroon, serving hundreds of families through direct services and events. We are not capable of curing sickle cell disease, but with the support of persons like you, we are capable of caring for each affected person and family.
