Abstract:
The focus of the study was the examination of the impact of NGO (APLSCD) in community development in Anambra State. The rise of NGOs in Nigeria was as a result of government's inability to cope with the huge development needs of the people. APLSCD is a Non-governmental Organization (NGO) that caters for the medical and welfare needs of persons living with sickle cell disorder/anaemia. The paper is descriptive and quantitative in typology. Methods and sources of data collections focused on Questionnaire. Participatory development theory served as the framework for explanation. Findings divulged that NGO (APLSCD) has significantly empowered the lives of people living with sickle cell disorder in Anambra State. Insufficient fund and Shortage of volunteers are major constraints limiting APLSCD developmental strides in Anambra State. The study recommends that government, public and private institutions, churches, and privileged Nigerians should render helping hand to the Association.
