Why Sickle Cell?

The founder of soulage foundation Late Mr. Olubiyi Odegbaike himself had first hand experience of the disorder. He understood what people with the disorder go through and sought to use the foundation to reach out to indigent people living with the disorder.
Sickle-cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that affects the haemoglobin within the red blood cells. The recurrent pain and complications caused by the disorder can interfere with many aspects of the patient's life, including education, employment and psychosocial development. Figures from the national Bureau of statistics show that an estimated 150,000 children are born every year in Nigeria with this trait. The SCD affects a large percentage of the Nigerian adult population.

Majority of indigent children living with Sickle cell disorder have little or no access to healthcare, required diet and information on how to manage the disorder.

Our Aims & Objectives

The Soulage foundation aims to achieve the following objectives;

  • To provide free medical support to indigent patients of SCD.
  • To alleviate the sufferings of patients living with sickle cell disorder by providing free routine drugs.
  • To create awareness through lectures, seminars, workshops, conferences and campaigns about sickle cell disease at grassroots level and society at large.
