Dellen sickle cell foundation was resently set up in Kenya to support patients with sickle cell condition. In Kenya and Africa most parents do not leave to see their 15 the birthday. Rural people look at it as curse and use traditional ways to manage it. The directors have had experience in managing two patients but lost one two years ago. From the pain of the loss they're settled to support patients with the condition. Educate and social support will help Many victims.
