Your Contributions go a long way!
For six years, the mission of the UASCRF and its affiliates have been rooted in the founding principles of educating Ugandans in particular and East Africans in general, about Sickle Cell Anemia: to inform, inspire and mobilize Ugandans to support the principles and vital work of the UASCRF and to strengthen Sickle Cell Patients and Parents through education on how deal with the disease. We ask you to join us by volunteering, sponsoring a Sickle Cell Patient to join and complete their education (in most cases the parent's savings and expenditures have been decimated by the hospital bills of their sick children), or to donate your time and expertise to educate Nurses and Medical Providers in Uganda. We also implore you to assist us in the different projects we have in place especially the building project.
