The need of Public Awareness for Sickle Cell Disease is so urgently clear: without the serious jointed effort of education and support for those affected with SCD, those affected have no real chance of living a long and healthy life.

The program also provide education on dealing with the physical, psychological, mental, social, economical, health care, and pain management barriers of Sickle Cell Disease.
