You Can Change the Future for a Child With Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease remains one of the most devastating health challenges in Northern Uganda, where limited resources make treatment difficult to access. As a Center of Excellence, Lacor Hospital continues to receive countless children and families seeking care they otherwise could not afford. With early treatment and consistent support, the suffering caused by this disease can be greatly reduced—and lives can be saved.
It costs about $1 a day to give a child living with sickle cell disease the medication they need.

Urgency
Sickle cell disease is one of the leading causes of childhood suffering in Northern Uganda, where up to 80–90% of affected children may die before age five without proper treatment.
Impact
Your gift helps provide hydroxyurea, a life-saving medication that allows children with sickle cell disease to make more fetal hemoglobin, which reduces painful crises, prevents dangerous complications, and dramatically improves their chances of survival.
Care
As a designated Center of Excellence, Lacor Hospital provides comprehensive, high-quality sickle cell care, from diagnosis and emergency treatment to infection prevention, malaria protection, and access to subsidized hydroxyurea, giving children the best chance at a healthy future.
