About Us
OUR STORY
The Jiya-Vannie Diabetic Foundation was established in Malawi in November 2012 by late Ruth Walker Jiyani (12.10.1986 to 11.30.2020), a diabetic patient who lived with juvenile diabetes for over 25 years of her life. With her experience, knowledge and set back of diabetic complications that she endured over the years, she decided to establish this foundation in hopes of educating, informing, creating and sourcing the people of Malawi about diabetes to help prevent fellow diabetic patients from living a limited lifestyle with diabetes. In turn the diabetic patients would be using their knowledge and experiences to help further the healthier aspects of diabetes.
