My Story
My name is Jacqueline Nanyange, I was born with sickle cell disease. Growing up in Uganda, I experienced first-hand the challenges faced by many patients — limited awareness, inadequate medical support, and the stigma surrounding the condition.
After moving to Germany, I gained access to better healthcare, which highlighted the urgent need for improved education, advocacy, and support systems back home. This realization inspired me to establish jackies hope sickelcell foundation a nonprofit dedicated to advocating, educating, supporting, and raising awareness for individuals and families affected by sickle cell in Uganda.
Through this organization, our vision is to create a stronger support network, promote early diagnosis and proper care, and reduce the stigma around sickle cell. With the partnership of committed donors and stakeholders, we can improve the quality of life for thousands of people living with this condition.
Our mission is simple yet urgent: to give every person living with sickle cell in Uganda the chance to live with dignity, hope, and better health.
