Keep 500 Sick Kids Alive in Crisis-Hit Communities

Dear partners,

Cold exposure is a direct trigger for sickle cell crises. During rainy season nights and early Harmattan mornings, temperatures drop sharply across Northern Nigeria. In displacement camps, children sleep in uninsulated tents with no protection from the cold, leading to painful crises that could have been prevented.

Your support is helping us distribute warm clothing, blankets, and insulated coverings to sickle cell children who face these harsh conditions. These items reduce cold exposure, stabilize body temperature, and prevent nighttime crises.

With additional donations, we can reach more families, prepare for the upcoming Harmattan season, and ensure that no child sleeps exposed to cold air. A warm blanket can mean the difference between a peaceful night and a painful emergency.

Thank you for protecting these children.

Warmly,

Dear partners,

Dehydration is one of the most common triggers of sickle cell crises. When children do not drink enough water — or when the only available water is unsafe — their blood becomes thicker, circulation slows, and painful episodes begin. In Northern Nigeria, clean water is scarce, and displaced families often ration what little they have.

Your support allows us to provide hydration packs, oral rehydration salts, and safewater containers to families who need them most. These simple tools help children stay hydrated throughout the day, even in harsh camp conditions.

With additional donations, we can expand safewater access, supply more hydration kits, and support families during the dry season when dehydration risk is highest. Hydration saves lives — and your generosity makes it possible.

Warmly,
