  "summary": "Adekunle Gold and global financial platform Pesa have launched a $20,000 initiative to support organizations working to improve the lives of people living with sickle cell disease. The \"We’re Not Done: AG Foundation Sickle Cell Impact Initiative\" will provide funding to four organizations - Sickle Cell Advocacy Management Initiative in Nigeria, Not Just You in Canada, Sickle Life in Ghana, and It Takes A Village in the United Kingdom - alongside the Adekunle Gold Foundation. The funds will help these organizations strengthen their work in healthcare access, patient support, education, awareness, and advocacy. Gold, who has spoken publicly about living with sickle cell disease, hopes the initiative will translate awareness into practical support for affected individuals and families.",
