The Sicklekan community aims to spread awareness through various avenues, firstly by spreading awareness not from the point of view of medical professionals, but through first-hand experience of patients.
They believe that by making people aware and giving them the correct tools to aid themselves or others in need of assistance, this would mean a decrease in the amount of Sickle cell patients feeling neglected and improperly cared for. With the right funding and support the Sicklekan can reach and provide information and support to members of the community, schools, business and other organisations and address the grey areas surrounding Sickle cell implementing measures to rectify this.
