Type 1 Diabetes
The body stops making insulin. Without daily injections, a child diagnosed at 10 loses an estimated 49 healthy years. We serve 171 children — 90% reach safe blood sugar within six months.

We find people who are sick, lost, and forgotten. We bring them to care. We make sure they stay.
Three conditions. One pattern. Type 1 diabetes, sickle cell disease, and leprosy share the same cruel logic: stigma drives people into hiding, distance keeps them from clinics, and poverty pulls them out of treatment. The result is preventable death and avoidable disability.
We break that pattern. Our teams go into villages, find the missing patients, connect them to treatment, and walk beside them for as long as it takes.

Sickle Cell Disease
Red blood cells bend, break, and block blood flow. Simple screening and basic medicines can save thousands of lives each year. We support 150 children and young people.

Curable with antibiotics, yet it still disables. In Uganda's West Nile region, people wait too long to reach clinics. We map cases, trace contacts, and rebuild lost expertise.
