Who we are
Young people creating a stronger circle of care
Crescent Cell Edge Initiative began at Makerere College School with a belief that every warrior deserves understanding, practical support and a community that stands beside them.
Our journey
From school conversations to community action
We are a student-led initiative focused on changing how young people understand and respond to sickle cell disease. We create safe spaces for warriors, share accurate information and equip students with skills that can protect health and restore hope.
Our work starts in schools because informed students can change families, communities and the future.
Our vision
A supportive and empowered school community that responds to the needs of sickle cell warriors.
Our goal
To care for warriors, increase genetic awareness and help reduce preventable sickle cell births through informed choices.
Our values
How we show up
Compassion
We listen without judgment and put dignity first.
Community
Nobody should face sickle cell alone.
Knowledge
Clear information gives people power to act.
Responsibility
We promote safe, practical and honest support.
