OUR TEAM & GOVERNANCE
Working together for people affected by sickle cell disease
The Malawi Sickle Cell Association brings together trustees, staff, volunteers, people living with sickle cell disease, families and partners. Together, we work to strengthen awareness, support and understanding of sickle cell disease in Malawi.
LEADERSHIP AND LIVED EXPERIENCE
Leadership shaped by community experience
People living with sickle cell disease and their families understand the challenges and needs that matter most. Their experiences help guide our work, inform our priorities and keep our programs connected to the community. We value their knowledge and are committed to listening and working together.
