The most important goal right now is to build a sickle center which will have among other facilities, a sickle cell clinic,
offices for the Sickle Cell Association of Uganda and a training facility for training of trainers and educators on sickle
cell.The Mulumba family has already donated land for the construction of this center. Many companies in Uganda have
also showed a lot of interest in contributing materials and funds to make this dream a reality.
- When the center is finally finished, hopefully by early 2012, we will need furniture, medical,
office and educational equipments to furnish the center.We will be publishing a list of items that we will need at this
website in the near future.We appeal to any individual or organizations to come to the aid of this effort.
If you
are living in Uganda you can also volunteer with the Sickle Cell Association of Uganda. Contact Mrs. Ruth Mukiibi phone number:
+256 71281 5978 for activities that you can help with.
You can also adopt a sickle cell child by paying his/her
school fees. A lot of sickle cell parents are not able to pay for their children's schooling because of inability to work
due to the disease.Contact Mrs Mukiibi for such children who need help with school fees. - Help in the fight against
stereotyping of sicklers by explaining that sickle cell is a genetic ineheritance that has nothing today with spells or charms
Do you have a great idea? Do you want to volunteer your time?
If you have an idea which you think can make a difference in the furtherance of the sickle cell fight, please do not
hesitate to contact us. For those of you living in Uganda and would like to volunteer your time ,contact Ruth Mukiibi the
chairperson of the Sickle Association of Uganda on 71 281 5978
