A nonprofit organization that strives to spread the knowledge of the deficiency, through educating medical providers and those affected by it.

This group exists because G6PD deficiency can feel confusing, isolating, and overwhelming, especially at the beginning.

Whether you’re a parent of a newly diagnosed baby, someone living with G6PD yourself, or a provider supporting families… You belong here.

This space is for:
✔ learning
✔ sharing experiences
✔ asking questions
✔ supporting each other

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing helpful posts about screening, triggers, feeding, jaundice, and everyday life with G6PD.

🎉 Congratulations to the G64Education Team! 🎉

We’re incredibly proud of the eight high school students from across the country who came together virtually to raise awareness about G6PD deficiency, the world’s most common enzyme disorder.

Through their year-long campaign, the team educated over 100 individuals, reached out to AMSA chapters at universities nationwide, and delivered an excellent presentation at Monmouth University—earning a 4.6/5 rating for teaching effectiveness. They also launched a public awareness video and a successful fundraising drive.

Their incredible efforts earned them a $10,000 Lead4Change grant, which will support ongoing outreach and educational initiatives, including partnering with the American Medical Student Association (AMSA).

The G6PD Deficiency Foundation is proud to mentor these future leaders.

👏 This initiative is a shining example of what happens when passion meets purpose. Congratulations again to these young leaders for their outstanding commitment to health education and advocacy.
