Draft for partner review · June 2026
Blood connects us. Care unites us.
Reach one. Restore many futures.
A campaign to help persons living with sickle cell disease be found early, treated continuously, counted with dignity and supported for life.
Why this matters
Sickle cell families need more than awareness.
They need early diagnosis, continuous care, dignity, counselling, medicines, safe blood access, follow-up and evidence that changes policy. The campaign begins with SCD because it shows a simple truth: blood connects us; care must reach us.
Nigeria-first. Africa-scalable. Global-facing. Built to turn compassion into care, and care into evidence.

30-second script
“Blood connects us. Care unites us.”
“I am joining the 1% Challenge because…”
“My one action is to learn, tell, screen, register, treat, train, fund or support one person or one community.”
“Reach one person. Restore many futures.”
Trust & accountability
Keep the work honest, measurable and close to families.
The campaign should be led with persons living with SCD, accountable to families, and open to all who care.
A Patient and Family Advisory Council, independent technical group and public reporting dashboard can help protect dignity, evidence quality and transparency.
