Emran Kakaire Memorial Fund for Sickle Cell and education launched today.

Emran Kakaire

Today we would have been celebrating Emran Kakaire’s 7th birthday. But unfortunately he lost the battle to sickle cell disease in 2014. As a way of celebrating his life he lived his family has decided to start a fund Emran Kakaire Memorial Fund which is dedicated to the memory of Emran Kakaire Kirunda, who died on Aug.11, 2014, at just over 5 years of age. Emran was a lovely boy who much loved and valued fellow children starting with his little sister Rania Kakaire.
To continue with Emran’s spirit in a significant and lasting way, his father Kakaire Ayub Kirunda has established a fund seeded by a fraction of his salary.
The fund aims at offering:
• Partial scholarships every term to initially help 5 primary school children from disadvantaged families in the village of Wantunda in Jinja where Emran was laid to rest.
• Monthly supplies of folic acid tablets, through Sickle Cell Network Uganda, to an initial 65 children coming from disadvantaged families
