APLSCD (Association of People Living with Sickle Cell Disorder) was founded in June 2015 by the coordinator Aisha Edwards after witnessing the neglect and stigmatization meted on persons living with sickle cell disorder. Being a victim of this neglect and stigmatization from NGOs, Government and the society, it became not pertinent to have an association where all members are victims of this disorder, to cater for their needs, and create a loud voice for these persons in the society.
The Association since inception has not only taken the sensitization as a call of duty, but also as a burning passion, as we hope to end the proliferation of this disorder. Being victims of this scourge and understanding our daily pain, it became necessary to propagate the genotype education to avoid further procreation of our kind, who when they arrive this world are left to suffer varying untold hardship for a cause they didn’t inflict on themselves.
