The Sabrina Foundation
About Us
Our Story & Mission
The Sabrina Foundation was born from love, loss, and an unwavering commitment to ensure no family faces Sickle Cell Disease alone.
Who We Are
The Sabrina Foundation is a Tanzanian nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness of Sickle Cell Disease — and specifically Sickle Stroke, a devastating complication that strikes children. We stand beside affected families through education, advocacy, and community.
Our foundation was named in memory of Sabrina, a child whose life was cut short by Sickle Stroke. Her story is the heartbeat of everything we do.
Our Mission
To save lives and strengthen families in Tanzania through Sickle Cell Disease awareness, early screening advocacy, and compassionate community support.
Our Vision
A Tanzania where every child with Sickle Cell Disease lives a full, supported life — where no stroke goes unrecognised and no family faces the diagnosis alone.
Our Values
Compassion
We lead with empathy in everything we do — for patients, families, and communities.
Advocacy
We speak up for those who cannot, pushing for policy change, screening access, and systemic support.
Awareness
We break through silence with clear, accurate information about Sickle Cell Disease and its complications.
Community
No family should walk this path alone. We build networks of support, hope, and solidarity.
Resilience
We draw strength from the families we serve — their courage inspires our persistence.
Unity
Together — patients, families, doctors, donors, and advocates — we are stronger.
