The Foundation recognizes that children and teenagers need proper health education to grow, learn, and thrive. Many students face challenges such as poor hygiene, lack of knowledge about their bodies, menstrual stigma, and misinformation about inherited conditions like sickle cell. Our school health programs are designed to address these gaps.
We visit schools regularly to conduct interactive sessions on:
In addition, we provide free sanitary pads to girls, especially those from low-income backgrounds who struggle with period poverty. We also donate hygiene kits containing soap, deodorants, toothpaste, toothbrushes, antiseptics, and other basic items.
To inspire young people to become health-conscious adults who understand their bodies, make informed decisions, and break the cycle of ignorance surrounding SCD.
Experience a smooth, guided process to access quality healthcare, from initial consultation to personalized treatments, ensuring your journey to wellness is simple and stress-free.
Knowledge is the first step toward better health. Learn about your body, your genotype, and the lifestyle choices that affect your wellbeing. Whether through our awareness programs, online resources, or community events, we empower you with the information you need to make smarter health decisions every day.
Put your knowledge into practice. Attend our free medical outreaches, get screened, ask questions, and make healthier choices. From regular checkups to improved hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention, small actions today lead to stronger, healthier communities tomorrow.
You are not alone on your health journey. Our Foundation provides ongoing support through counseling, follow-ups, community education, and humanitarian assistance. Stay connected, stay encouraged, and let us walk with you as you build a healthier life for yourself and your loved ones.
Because every story matters. The Foundation was inspired by the life of Okeoghene Samuel Eterigho, whose courage continues to drive our mission to educate, support, and give hope to others living with Sickle Cell Disease.
We go beyond checkups; we bring care, compassion, and education to the heart of underserved communities. Every outreach is a chance to touch lives, provide medical attention, and remind people that they’re not alone.
Through school health programs, we teach students about healthy living, hygiene, and menstrual health. We also distribute free sanitary pads and hygiene kits to empower young girls and keep them in school confidently.
Not at all. While Sickle Cell is our heartbeat, we also address broader health concerns from preventive healthcare to community wellness, helping people live healthier, informed lives.
You can join our movement by volunteering your time, donating, or partnering with us. Every helping hand strengthens our reach and helps more people get the care they deserve.
Since 2022, we’ve reached over two million people through outreaches, health talks, and partnerships proving that when compassion leads, change follows.
Love. Hope. And the belief that one act of kindness can spark a chain of healing across generations.
Join us in creating brighter futures by providing hope, delivering help, and fostering lasting change.
