Our Mission
Fit To Achieve Sickle Cell Foundation was set up to support people living with sickle cell disorder in West African communities. The name of the foundation was honed from the belief that anyone born with sickle cell, with the right level of care and support can live relatively well to ACHIEVE their life goals and ambitions.
What We Do
Supportive programs delivering care, education and resources to dedicated communities
and sickle warriors.
Fundraising events dedicated to raising funds and awareness in which to support mission goals and help make a difference.
Scholarship programs designed to help children with sickle cell pursue higher education while managing their medical challenges.
Our Donations
The heart of our mission is to help West African communities in need. With funding solely from donations, we are able to support warriors with healthcare, education, nutrition, and other programs that are vital for their well-being. Your generous donation can help support our efforts, and make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.
Current Program
We are launching a pilot program in rural Abuja, Nigeria, delivering free specialist care to 70 children with sickle cell disease. Led by UK nurse Funmi Ola-Adenekan, the initiative offers first-time haematology reviews, family education, and care planning; marking a bold step toward equitable, community-based healthcare for vulnerable children living in material deprivation.
“Sickle cell hasn't got you,
you've got it.”
