Mariama’s Story

7bnh A Brave Mother Facing the Challenges of Sickle Cell Disease
Mariama, a mother of three, discovered that her eldest son, Adama, had sickle cell disease when he was just 6 months old. In her village, very few people understood this disease, and she faced criticism and misguided advice. Despite the lack of resources, Mariama fought to provide her son with the best possible care. She walked miles to consult a doctor, learned to recognize the signs of crises, and raised awareness among other parents about the disease. Today, thanks to her dedication, Adama is a lively young boy, and Mariama has become a respected figure in her community, helping other families overcome the challenges associated with sickle cell disease.
