Support the Construction of Uganda’s First 24-Hour Sickle Cell Care Center

We need your help to build Uganda’s first 24-hour Sickle Cell Care Center, a facility that will provide crucial, round-the-clock care for sickle cell patients. Currently, Uganda has only one day care clinic, leading to overcrowding and insufficient resources for those in need. Our new center will offer specialized care, separate pediatric and adult treatment areas, emergency medical equipment, and dedicated counseling spaces to support patients and their families. Located in Kawanda – Namalere Bombo Road, this center will be a beacon of hope for countless individuals battling sickle cell disease.
