I wasn't prepared for how emotional this would make me.

Hearing this message playing across the Liberian airwaves while seeing our team taking sickle cell education directly into schools across Liberia brought tears to my eyes. This is what awareness sounds like. 🇱🇷🩸 Throughout September 2026, MTS Sickle Cell Foundation–Liberia, through the Kamara Sickle Cell Project (KaSp), is taking sickle cell disease education into schools and communities across Liberia—while our Sickle Cell Awareness Month message reaches listeners over the Liberian airwaves. Our school-based campaign is helping young people understand sickle cell disease, how it is inherited, the importance of knowing their genotype, and the role each of us can play in ending stigma and supporting people living with SCD. Every classroom reached represents an opportunity to change what the next generation knows about sickle cell disease. Get tested. Know your status. Stop the stigma. 🇱🇷 Healthy Students.
