About Us
Nirvana Initiative Africa
Nirvana Initiative Africa is a nonprofit organization committed to advocating for individuals with Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD), affectionately known as ‘Warriors’. Our primary objective is to provide unwavering support to Warriors in their ongoing battle with sickle cell and to encourage their active involvement within their communities and across society.
We specialize in developing and executing targeted interventions aimed at cultivating Sickle Cell-friendly environments within various spheres of interaction, encompassing educational, religious, and social circles. Through dynamic public campaigns, sensitization initiatives, and community outreach programs, we disseminate crucial information about SCD and its management. Additionally, we offer vital moral and social support, along with facilitating access to essential healthcare resources for Warriors.
Nirvana Initiative Africa aspires to emerge as the leading voice and advocate for the Sickle Cell community not only in Nigeria but across the broader African continent.
