SSW was established in 2017 by a sickle cell warrior and a warrior mother in order to give support to those living with the disease and their caregivers.

With deep grief, we regret to announce the passing of our dear founder Mrs Yasmine Adjoa Okudzeto earlier this week.

She was the epitome of a warrior and will never be forgotten.

Meet Joshua, a Ghanaian medical student in Amsterdam who runs a #SickleCellDisease NGO, I Care For Sickle.
