It was founded by Ms Oluwatoyin Adesola, who also acts as the founding Executive Director.  Ms Adesola has been through the traumatic challenges of living with sickle cell all her life for over five decades, having experienced over one hundred hospital admissions, fifty blood transfusions and five surgeries. 

She, therefore, understood what it is like to go through Sickle Cell disorder, a condition the World Health Organization has termed a traumatic disorder and public health problem. She deemed it necessary to help those who may not be privileged, like her, to have reasonable medical attention, care and emotional support.
