Better You Health Hub

BETTER YOU HEALTH HUB is our advocacy and education project with the intent to develop and deploy champions propagating right, appropriate information to fit into our vision ‘to have a society where sickle cell disorder is reduced.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Often, during community outreaches, our interactions tend to be one-off which doesn’t allow for in-depth understanding and we can’t easily measure impact.

With BYHH, we target members of organized communities such as secondary schools, university campuses, medical guilds, business communities, trade unions, professional associations, social clubs, and other organized segments of society. It affords us the unique privilege to provide a robust, well-grounded knowledge of sickle cell to members of these organized communities. We expect that they will be able to replicate sickle cell awareness wherever, whenever.

PROJECT WORK SO FAR

In 2020, we were able to impact students of 4 government-owned secondary schools located in Surulere. In 2021, we reached 7 privately-owned secondary schools and 1 university campus.

CURRENT WORK

This year, we will reach more school students. Plans are ongoing to work with members of the medical community including doctors and nurses in the Surulere axis.

PROJECTED PLANS

* Printing of ‘My Genotype and I’ health education book for primary school pupils.

* Partnership with government school boards.

SAMI is always looking for partnerships in this project. If you are interested in supporting, volunteering, facilitating or partnering do send a mail to info@sami-ng.org with the header BETTER YOU HEALTH HUB.

JOIN US

Over ₦4,000,000 was spent on 2195 individuals in 2021. Our support system can grow bigger and be better with you. 

Apart from financial donations, we also need the voluntary services of a robust and knowledgeable medical team (doctors, nurses, social workers, lab scientists, pharmacists, genetic counsellors, psychiatrists and psychologists, and physiologists,). 

We would also appreciate the voluntary services of diagnostic centres, pharmacies and hospitals that can partner with us on a monthly basis to provide emergency care for warriors in need of emergency care on the spot such as rehydration, further diagnosis etc for a day or two.
