The Problem We Are Solving

Many people living with sickle cell disease continue to experience preventable health crises, delayed access to care, and limited support. Managing pain, hospital visits, and everyday health decisions can be challenging, especially when information is fragmented, and communication with healthcare providers is not always seamless.  

Timely guidance and support are often unavailable when they are most needed. Sickle Shield was created to address these gaps by providing accessible digital tools, reliable information, and structured community support to help sickle cell warriors and their families manage their health more effectively.

Understanding Sickle Cell Anemia

Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder that changes the shape of red blood cells from round to a rigid, crescent-like form. These misshapen cells break down faster and can block blood flow, causing pain, anemia, infections, and organ damage. It’s most common in people of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian descent.

Slide 1

Behind every statistic about sickle cell disease is a warrior fighting for better days, a family searching for answers, and a community that refuses to be overlooked. Sickle cell isn't just a medical condition; it's missed school days, canceled plans, emergency room visits at 3 AM, and the constant weight of uncertainty.

Slide 2

Families across the UK and Nigeria are tired of being told to "just manage" without the right resources. They're not looking for sympathy; they're looking for solutions, support, and a system that finally puts them first. Equity in healthcare is non-negotiable.
