Harmony’s mother expressed deep gratitude for her transformation. Since joining the BBF program, her frequent joint pain and weakness have drastically reduced. She can now stand and sit with support, sleeps better, and has regained a healthy appetite. Sarah’s mother shared that her daughter, who once experienced painful crises every few weeks, has now been crisis-free for nearly four months. Favour is thriving in school and enjoys outdoor activities again.The Brain and Body Foundation held a successful clinic on Friday, September 12, 2025, as part of our 10th anniversary celebration, where a total of 150 children received medical attention. Among them were 84 children living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and 66 children with various Neurological Disorders.
The day was filled with inspiring stories of improvement, hope, and transformation. Many of the children who have been attending our clinics regularly showed remarkable progress in their physical and mental health.
Progress and Improvements
Children with Sickle Cell Disease (84 Patients)
Several children with Sickle Cell Disease reported fewer pain crises and better energy levels. Parents mentioned that their children now sleep better, eat more, and are more active in school and at home. Many have gone weeks or even months without hospitalization — a major breakthrough for families who used to live in constant fear of health crises.
Children with Neurological Disorders (66 Patients)
Our team also attended to 66 children with neurological challenges such as delayed speech, motor issues, and developmental delays. Parents shared encouraging feedback about better movement, improved focus, and calmer behavior. Some children who previously couldn’t walk or respond properly now show greater coordination and awareness.
Highlight: Dr. Ekam Ethel’s Visit
We were honored to welcome Dr. Ekam Ethel, Assistant Director and Head of NGO Coordination Unit, Federal Ministry of Health, as a guest during the clinic.
Dr. Ethel worked closely with our team to assess patients, provide expert recommendations, and engage parents in one-on-one counseling sessions. Her visit brought renewed hope to families as she emphasized the importance of continuous care, proper nutrition, and adherence to the Foundation’s therapy plan.Her professional insight and compassionate approach made a lasting impact, further strengthening the government’s commitment to helping children live healthy, active lives despite health challenges.

The Brain and Body Foundation remains steadfast in its mission to provide children with Sickle Cell Disease and Neurological Disorders the best possible care and support. Each clinic day brings us closer to a future where every child can live free from pain and limitation — strong, healthy, and full of life.
