ASCO equips patients caregivers with skills and resources to reduce sickle cell suffering and achieve their fullest potential. We strengthen sickle cell health systems in rural communities. ASCO informs policy to improve equitable access to sickle cell care.
Sickle Cell Anemia is one of a group of genetic disorders known as Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). It causes the deformation of round normal red blood cells to sickle-shaped red blood cells.
In 2017, Lea initiated Africa sickle cell organization to redefine Sickle Cell response in Kenya. Inspired by stories of patients like herself from the six counties she ventured, she wondered why not use their stories to inform policies and health systems closest to them?
We are building a movement of empowered People living with sickle cell across Kenya and Africa for systemic social change.
Through strategic public private partnerships and commitments, we strengthen health systems ensuring early and continuous access to care.
ASCO forms strong relationships and agreements within and across communities of interest to ensure continued political will for health finance and policy.
