WORLD SICKLE CELL DAY

The countdown has begun! The 19th June is World Sickle Cell Day, a United Nations recognised day to raise awareness of sickle cell at a national and international level.

Why Africa Sickle Cell Support Foundation, ASCSF?

AFRICA SICKLE CELL SUPPORT FOUNDATION, INC. (ASCSF) is a charitable, non-profit organization that operates for the benefit of individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease in African countries. ASCSF was founded to meet the unmet needs of individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease. The foundation educates people with Sickle Cell about how to manage their disease and improve their quality of life.

ASCSF promotes the concept, “live a life worth living”.

Therefore, ASCSF provides people with the resources, materials, and tools to foster interdependence, which ultimately increases education and their quality of health care.

Our purpose is on-going and our need is ever present.

As long as babies continue to be born with sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait, there will be a need for our services. Until there’s a cure, we will continue to serve.
