Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to improve the lives of individuals affected by sickle cell disease through education, early detection, and access to support systems. Our vision is a society where every individual is informed, supported, and empowered to prevent and live well with sickle cell disease.
Our pillars
Our work is organized around four connected pillars that move people from knowledge to care, advocacy, and stronger evidence for change.
Awareness
Care
Advocacy
Research
We did not set out to build a foundation. We set out to address a gap in understanding around genotype compatibility. The foundation emerged because the problem required a sustained response.
