Know Your Type is Raremark Foundation’s flagship mobile outreach campaign, created to bring Sickle Cell awareness, education, and genotype screening directly into communities. Through on-site activations, we visit organizations, hospitals, schools, media houses, and any institution that invites us, making essential services accessible to the people who need them most.
By taking screening to the community, Know Your Type helps reduce the financial and accessibility barriers many people face in Uganda, where a single test can be out of reach for many families.
Early discovery saves lives.
Knowing your genotype early enables informed decisions about health, relationships, and family planning. It equips Warriors and carriers with vital knowledge to navigate life confidently.
Prevention & planning
Pre-marital and family-genotype testing helps prevent the birth of children with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and supports better health outcomes.
Community impact.
By talking openly about genotype, we normalize the conversation, eradicate stigma, and build a stronger, supportive nationwide community for Warriors and families.
