Red Umbrella Walk 2025

The "Red Umbrella Walk" is an annual awareness event for sickle cell disease in Nigeria, where participants carry red umbrellas to symbolize protection, support, and hope. It serves as a platform for education, networking among NGOs and stakeholders, and advocating for better government support for those living with sickle cell disorder (SCD). The walk has been organized by groups like the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria and the Coalition of Sickle Cell NGOs in Lagos State.
