Your support can make all the difference in the lives of people affected by sickle cell disease. By contributing to **Empower Sickle Cell Community**, you help us:

• Provide practical guidance and moral support to patients and their families.

• Organize awareness campaigns to break misconceptions.

• Fund medical treatments and essential equipment for patients in Africa.

• Promote research and innovative initiatives to improve the quality of life for individuals with sickle cell disease.

The idea of creating Empower Sickle Cell Community came from Maguette Ndiaye and Dieyna, two sisters living with sickle cell disease (SS type). Growing up in Africa, they faced enormous challenges, such as limited medical resources and misconceptions surrounding the disease. These experiences had a profound impact on them.

Today, living in Europe and the United States, they are using their personal journey to support children and families facing similar struggles. Their vision is to build a supportive community based on sharing and mutual aid, transforming challenges into hope.
