The Sickle Cell Advocacy & Management Initiative (SAMI) was established in 2008 to create awareness and educate people on Sickle Cell, as well as provide medical and emotional support to those living with the disorder. Our mission is to employ strategic partnerships with organisations and individuals to reduce the effects of Sickle Cell Anaemia Disorder in society, through awareness, advocacy and support. “Touch A Cell” and XTRA Care free clinic are some of the programs it runs.
