DRÉPA-GABON?

Goal

DRÉPA-GABON is a non-profit organization dedicated to spread awareness about Sickle-cell anemia in Gabon. All members are voluntary workers. The main objective is to save a life. At that extent, the organization’s programs target parents whose children are living with Sickle-cell anemia, parents who are expecting a child, sick people and those who are carrying homozygote and heterozygote genes. In order to reach the above targets, the organization will make available diverse resources such as learning material and spreading awareness through local media to boost and collect donations and help from local and international donors and volunteers. The organization is planning on collecting blood from free donors in order to have blood and platelets transfusion on a weekly basis available to patients.

In the long term, DRÉPA-GABON will build partnership with the first Hospital complex of the country (CHL) located in Libreville. This partnership will help set up a national center of hematology, specialized in the prevention and the follow up of patients suffering from Sickle-cell anemia. DRÉPA-GABON will also extend its programs to local areas of the country.

DREPA-GABON headquarter is located in Libreville Gabon.
