Giving Digest: Hope in Motion
The dfcu Sickle Cell Walk 2026 brought people together in Kampala to stand with individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease. Held on Mother’s Day, the walk raised awareness while mobilising support for the refurbishment of the national sickle cell clinic at Mulago National Referral Hospital. It showed how a simple public act, walking together, can become a shared statement of care, visibility, and responsibility. The campaign also reminded communities that support for sickle cell warriors goes beyond sympathy; it requires action, resources, and systems that make care easier to access.
