Zahra Buhari made brand ambassador for Sickle cell foundation

Sickle Cell is a disease that affects the red blood cell, causing them to be constricted and sickle shaped.

So on the September the 18th 2015, President Muhammadu  Buhari's daughter, Zahra was named  the brand ambassador of the Sickle Cell Aid Foundation (SCAF).


A little about SCAF-SCAF is an NGO that  raises awareness on sickle cell to enable people make a better  decisions about their future children and to guarantee that less privileged people with this dickness have access to quality healthcare.

According to the president's daughter, Zahra, she said she has lost a loved one to this disease called sickle cell and was elated to be an ambassador.
Let's hear her...
“I was impressed with the amount of work SCAF has been doing with so little resources. I also lost a sister three years back due to sickle cell anaemia, so I know what it feels like losing a loved one. Becoming an Ambassador of SCAF is a way to show my support to those suffering from sickle cell anaemia.”


You remember Nkechi Azinge, Founder of SCAF   that was got an award from the Queen of England lately alongside Stephanie Linus?


The founder of SCAF, Nkechi Azinge, who was recently awarded by the Queen of England for her philanthropic acts said, ‘ Zahra is a passionate and committed lady who is keen to lend her support in any way possible. We are certain that Zahra’s involvement will help raise exigent awareness and ensure that more sickle cell sufferers get the help they need.’ She said.
