We're excited to announce the launch of our I AM SICKLE CELL SMART campaign, in celebration of #WorldSickleCellDay 2025!
Our mission is to educate, inspire empathy, encourage early testing and create a ripple effect in reducing the prevalence of sickle cell disease in Nigeria.

Today on International Day of the Boy Child, let's recognize that every child, regardless of their gender has dreams worthy of being nurtured with equal access to great opportunities to reach their full potentials.

We’re starting early. We’re starting strong. And we’re not stopping until every young person knows the power of their genotype.
Join the movement. Be #IAmSickleCellSmart 💛

No knowledge is wasted—especially when it comes to your health. 🧬
Many people unknowingly carry the sickle cell gene. Without screening, the risk of having a child with sickle cell disease increases.

Being sickle cell smart means:
✅ Choosing certainty over assumption
✅ Asking the right questions
✅ Making informed decisions—with both your heart & your health in mind.

During the #55thConvocation Ceremony of the University of Lagos @UnilagNigeria, our founder Anisa Ishaq-Balogun was one of 561 first class graduates of the 2024 set.
She shared the motivating factor behind this huge milestone with @TheWhistlerNG.

Who says having sickle cell disease is a barrier to academic excellence?
Definitely not me!

"My mom said I'm AA" is not a genotype 🚫
"I only get malaria most times, so I'm AA" is not a genotype 🚫
"We hardly fall sick in my family, so we're AA" is not a genotype🚫

Assumptions can be deadly! Don't gamble with the future of your unborn kids👨‍👩‍👦‍👦.

Did you know?🤔 Every trait, including your red blood cells, is inherited from both of your biological parents?

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)🧬🩸 is an INHERITED blood disorder, not a CONTAGIOUS ONE! 🚫 You can't catch it from a cold🤧, flu🤒, or an infected person😷.
