PLAN OF ATTACK

SICKLE CELL IN NIGERIA: OUR “ENDGAME”

TO REDUCE THE DEATH RATE OF CHILDREN BELOW THE

AGE OF 5 LIVING WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE FROM 75% TO LESS THAN 10% BY 2025

2000 children for 12 months

The plan is to collaborate with the McCourty twins (Jason and Devin), Tackle Sickle Cell, and Embrace Kids Foundation to provide supplements for 2000 children in Nigeria for a duration of 12 months to help reduce crises and improve their quality of life.

These supplements will be a combination of Vitamin-C, Vitamin-D, and Zinc, which have all been proven to help strengthen the immune system and significantly improve the health of the cells in the body of these children.

SCD Research: Strong Immune System = Enhanced Quality of Life

Our goal is to drastically reduce the number of children dying each year, as a result of Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD). To achieve that, Doctors and Healthcare Professionals need to prescribe immune support supplements in addition to folic acid and anti-malaria.

Before they can do that, we must provide them with compelling evidence that immune system fortification is important in children with SCD, and that is why we need to do this research.

Advocate for Change

From our work with the Nigerian Government, we hope to make all these strategies part of the main policies in the treatment of individuals with Sickle Cell Disorder for both children and adults.
