Adekunle Gold Launches $20,000 Fund for Sickle Cell Support
Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has announced a $20,000 fund aimed at supporting organizations that improve the lives of individuals affected by sickle cell disease. This initiative is launched through the Adekunle Gold Foundation in partnership with the financial platform PESA.
The project intends to strengthen existing efforts within the sickle cell community by directing donations to organizations already engaged in significant work. Four organizations will benefit from this funding: the Sickle Cell Advocacy Management Initiative, Not Just You in Canada, Sickle Life in Ghana, and It Takes A Village in the United Kingdom.
These organizations will utilize the support to enhance healthcare access, provide patient assistance, and advocate for those affected by sickle cell disease. Adekunle Gold emphasized the importance of collaboration in this fight and stated that the initiative would redistribute donations received by his foundation to those organizations.
This project builds on the foundation's previous efforts, including outreach programs and free health insurance in Lagos.
