Every Baby Deserves a Fighting Chance Against Sickle Cell Disease from Day One

We’re transforming how newborns are screened, diagnosed, and cared for—starting in Ghana, scaling across Africa.

Every year, ~18,000 babies in Ghana are born with Sickle Cell Disease. Most go undiagnosed until it’s too late.

Counsel families with compassion and culturally grounded education
Enrol diagnosed children into treatment, monitoring, and support

Our Impact So Far

Every Baby
Deserves a Fighting Chance

Our Programs Save Lives at Every Step

Newborn Screening & Early Diagnosis

We screen newborns using rapid, WHO-approved point-of-care devices that deliver results in under 10 minutes. No long waits. No lost-to-follow-up. Impact: 300+ babies screened in under 12 months.

Family Education & Genetic Counseling

We don’t just deliver results—we walk with families. Our trained counselors provide education on SCD, inheritance patterns, and reproductive options. Why it matters: Many families don’t know their sickle cell status until after complications occur.

Treatment Enrollment & Continuity of Care

Children diagnosed with SCD are immediately linked to care, including hydroxyurea therapy, pain management, and malaria prevention. We provide follow-up reminders, digital records, and appointment tracking through our SALTED App. Goal: No child falls through the cracks.

Nurse Training & Master Trainer Program

We equip frontline health workers with knowledge and tools through our 3-day training sessions. Our master trainers then support quality implementation across facilities. 50+ nurses trained and counting.

Expanding Access. Redefining Sickle Cell Care Together

In Ghana, nearly 16,000 babies are born each year with SCD. Yet most don’t get diagnosed at birth.

Sickle Cell Disease: A Pressing Yet Overlooked Health Crisis

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that affects the shape and function of red blood cells.

Why We’re Different

Most health systems are reactive. We’re proactive.

Most interventions are hospital-based. We’re community-based.

Most models rely on central labs. We bring results in 10 minutes.
