Every year on 19 June, the world marks World Sickle Cell Day. TASIWA brings warriors, families, health workers and supporters together for a community walk, free genotype screening and a blood drive with partner medical centres.

Blood transfusion is a lifeline for many people living with sickle cell disease. Every unit donated can help a warrior through a crisis.

How to take part

  • Walk with us and wear red
  • Donate blood at the partner medical centre stand
  • Bring your family to learn your genotypes
