Sickle cell disease has become a common and foremost genetic disease worldwide which is must to cure through the fast awareness campaign, curable activities, early diagnosis and management.
I am proud to introduce the amazing work one of our mentees has started. Esther our mentee has sickle cell.She created a foundation and this website to address the issue. ( http://www.charisfdn.org ).
She came to Soronko Academy with no coding skills and little knowledge in technology. Esther built her foundation website herself from scratch.We are proud of what Esther has achieved by learning to code and creating a voice and platform to address sickle cell.
