OOSCF Health insurance support program

In Nigeria, over 150,000 children are born with sickle cell disease (SCD) every year. Tragically, 70% will not survive past age five due to a lack of access to basic healthcare. For those who do, a lifetime of pain crises, infections, and financial hardship awaits. The OOSCF Health Insurance Support Program breaks this cycle by providing life-saving health coverage to Nigeria’s most vulnerable sickle cell warriors, ensuring no child is denied care because of cost.

Transparency: 90% of donations directly fund healthcare for warriors.

This Program Directly Advances SDG 3 (Good & Well-being Health) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
