Our Programs
Our programmes blend education, grassroots advocacy and creativity to empower individuals, save lives, and build a future full of sickle-cell-free generations.
Design4Dreams
Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) often face isolation, pain, and limited opportunities for self-expression. Design4Dreams is an initiative that fuses art therapy, healthcare and public advocacy for children living with SCD to explore their artistic talents under the guidance of an art instructor, designing vibrant designs that become wearable art. This program not only fosters self-expression and confidence but also raises awareness through art.
The first edition of Design4Dreams launched in 2024 in partnership with Genes Up, Achilles Clothing, and I-LAMP empowered 20 young artists living with sickle cell disease to unleash their creative imaginations using their lived experiences with sickle cell disease into amazing designs that are printed on T-shirts. Proceeds from each T-shirts sold globally is used in funding participants’ medical care.
These young artists don’t just create art, every stroke of brush is a stroke of hope, they inspire a movement that sickle cell disease doesn’t define their creative potential.
