They are both genetic blood disorders, which are inherited from the parents.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for hemoglobin. If a person has inherited the mutation, their bone marrow will produce sticky, sickle-shaped red blood cells, which cause a wide array of issues.

Hemophilia is another blood disorder that is inherited from the parents, but in a different and more complicated way. Hemophiliacs (people suffering from hemophilia) have a problem with blood clotting. They will always bruise easily, and when they bleed, the blood might not clot unless certain actions are taken.

Both diseases affect the blood, and are life long. There are currently no effective cures for them.
