Our Mission

JDF is dedicated to going further than bringing awareness and providing information to people at all levels. It will change lives and empower patients in presenting different treatment options and help them get the right care. This will be done by research, awareness campaigns, support groups, training, and networking using different publications, radio and television programs, as well as the internet. JDF will also partner with other organizations including the government and religious groups to empower the nation with educational material and treatments available to them for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Events

It was the founder’s goal to screen 500,000 people as she celebrated living with diabetes for 25 years. We are forever grateful for those 25 years and the work Ruth Walker Jiyani started. Join us by donating, volunteering and collaborating with JDF.

Being a diabetic is a hard thing but what makes it even more difficult is being a diabetic in the rural areas of Malawi
