You may also know or be connected in some way to someone who has or has died from leukemia or lymphoma.<\/p>\n<p>Sickle cell anemia is one of the prevailing conditions many Africans are likely to face and it causes a significant number of deaths on the continent due to a lack of adequate treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is increasingly common, since blood diseases like sickle cell anemia and cancers&nbsp;such as lymphoma and leukemia are on the rise in Africa and are causing a significant amount of deaths across developing countries.<\/strong> Last year, <em>The Economist<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/news\/international\/21597962-burden-cancer-falling-increasingly-heavily-poor-worse-aids\">reported<\/a> findings from the International Agency for Research on Cancer which showed that people in low income and middle income countries make up 57% of the 14 million people diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and 65% of the deaths from it.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, NPR <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/health-shots\/2013\/07\/17\/202628070\/sickle-cell-anemia-is-on-the-rise-worldwide\">reported<\/a> findings from the <em>PLOS Medicine<\/em> journal that predicts that by 2050, the number of babies born with sickle cell anemia will rise to 140,000 and 45,000 per year in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The issues of poverty and lack of adequate health infrastructure in the continent contribute significantly to these deaths. <strong>Reports have shown that non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer, <a href=\"http:\/\/qz.com\/488986\/noncommunicable-diseases-will-be-the-most-common-cause-of-death-in-africa-by-2030\/\">will be the most common cause of death in Africa by the year 2030<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The year 2030 happens to be&nbsp;the same year by which, as part of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalgoals.org\/global-goals\/good-health\/\">Goal 3<\/a> of the Sustainable Development Goals, the world aims to &ldquo;reduce by one-third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bone marrow transplant is the only confirmed and accessible cure for numerous blood cancers and for sickle cell anemia.

Founded in 2014,&nbsp;Ara is a grassroots volunteer initiative aimed at combating blood cancers and sickle cell anemia in Africa by recruiting bone marrow donors and promoting cancer control advocacy. <strong>Ara&rsquo;s main goal is to recruit 30,000 African bone marrow donors on the African bone marrow registries by December 2018.<\/strong> Ara also serves as a community to&nbsp;support and inform<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>cancer and sickle cell patients, survivors, and their families. Ara hopes to ultimately contribute to making blood donations commonplace in many African cities.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the United States has the world&rsquo;s largest bone marrow registry:&nbsp;3.34%&nbsp;of the U.S. population is registered as a bone marrow donor. Ara reports that this is more than&nbsp;500 times the amount of registered donors in the African population: Only&nbsp;0.006%&nbsp;are registered on the Nigerian and South African Bone Marrow Registries&mdash;the only internationally accredited registries in Africa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ara sees it as a critical duty to recruit thousands of bone marrow donors of African descent so that blood cancer and anemia patients will have a higher probability of finding a match and a greater likelihood of recovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_127065\" style=\"width: 603px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-127065\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-post-image wp-image-127065\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.one.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/13163918\/blog_ara3-640x452.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo credit: Ara\" width=\"593\" height=\"419\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-127065\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Ara<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Ara will be launching its first drive on the&nbsp;December 21 in Lagos, Nigeria,&nbsp;and is working with <a href=\"http:\/\/deletebloodcancer.org\">DKMS<\/a>&nbsp;to raise awareness and to recruit the first&nbsp;2,000 donors. The drive promises to be a fun-filled and educational event with food, music, presentations, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Ronke Babalakin, a member of Ara&rsquo;s founding team says, &ldquo;Here at Ara, we really want to get young people interested and invested in this issue.<strong> Not everyone in the Ara community will be a bone marrow donor; instead we want the people to be open to learn more about blood cancer related diseases and how we can fight them effectively.<\/strong> This December, Ara is offering everyone the opportunity to come, eat, and connect with people and learn how to save lives.
