This year 2019, I am celebrating 15 years of sickle cell advocacy. This journey started in 2004 at 14 years while a student in senior two. Despite hundreds of trials, I’ve never stopped and not about to. In commemoration of this great milestone, I have created a t-shirt campaign at 30,000 Uganda Shillings.
The proceeds from these t-shirts will help children living with sickle cell disease through the Feed A Warrior Program. Feed A Warrior is a program of Action Against Sickle Cell Disease that comprehensively improve the nutritional status of rural children living with sickle cell disease through promotion of simple gardens, nutrition education, counseling, and food demonstration. Currently, the program is benefiting 15 families with children living with sickle cell disease in Busia District, Eastern Uganda. Vegetable gardens set up help to provide an all year round supply of folate-rich vegetables. Families have a ready supply that helps in boosting immunity and fighting anemia among children with sickle cell disease.
Funds will help to buy nutrition assessment equipment, seeds, pesticides, fertilizers and other farm inputs plus organizing training.
To preorder the t-shirt you can inbox me with your preferred size or contact me on 0779210960 (WhatsApp), 0701042239 or Culton Scovia on 0701039001.
