Alaafia has launched a Digital Career Training initiative specifically for families affected by sickle cell disease in the United States. Recognizing the challenges sickle cell patients face in job retention, as highlighted by an ASH Publication stating that 90% cannot maintain their jobs due to continuous crises and pain, this project aims to support not just individuals with sickle cell but also their families.
This program offers digital career training through instructional videos and expert guidance, enabling those living with sickle cell to pursue or retain career independence. This program is designed for participants aged ten and above from sickle cell families; the training covers various digital skills, including:
Graphics Design (emphasis on Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator)
Video Editing (using Adobe Premiere)
Social Media Management
Podcast Production
Content Creation
Writing
Web Design
UI/UX Design
Resume Writing
Basic Computing
