#1K4SICKLE

What is #1K4Sickle?

“1k4sickle” is an initiative of donate-ng to encourage people to donate N1,000 ($4) to charities and NGO’s raising awareness for sickle cell anemia in Nigeria as well as supporting individuals living with sickle cell.

Did you know that Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of sickle cell births in the world? Over 150,000 children are born each year with sickle cell anemia (Hb SS). The disease is regarded as a silent baby killer as an estimated 50% to 80% of infants born with the disorder die before the age of 5 years.

Several NGOs and charities in Nigeria are working to create awareness for this disease, providing practical advice on how it could be avoided, educating kids in schools and providing support for those living with sickle cell anemia (Warriors). As part of the donate-ng's commitment to the advancement of crowdfunding in Nigeria, we are working with 5 NGOs in Nigeria in the months of June and July to encourage donation to help eradicate this disease.

Your N1,000 would go a long way in reaching out to Individuals living with sickle cell anemia and support to charities championing the advocacy. Select a campaign of interest below to donate to.
