Zimbabwean men unite to advocate for diabetes care

Zimbabwe

'We realised it was necessary to form an association. Why? So we could go and motivate our own, which are other men, who live in rural areas,' says Luckson Zanamwe, a member of a diabetes self-support group at Chikombedzi Hospital, Zimbabwe. &nbsp; Luckson's group was formed as part of the&nbsp;'Improving access and quality of diabetes care in rural Zimbabwe'&nbsp;project, funded by WDF....

Cambodia’s sprouts of change: healthier futures through safer child nutrition in schools

28 Oct 2024

Imagine travelling across vast fields of rice, when you suddenly find yourself in a schoolyard.&nbsp;A Buddhist pagoda with gardens and ornate shrines stands out, a bit farther from the school in front of you. Built on land donated by the pagoda, the school serves as a learning hub for 450 children in the community. &nbsp; From morning to evening, the schoolyard is animated with the sights a...

Heroes of remote Nepal: Women leading the way to healthier communities

Nepal

25 Oct 2024

Women in Nepal have become promising agents of change, improving control of type 2 diabetes and social trust.

Breaking barriers: Liberia’s journey from modest diabetes clinic to national NCD response

Liberia

24 Oct 2024

A little rain each day will fill the rivers to overflowing. This Liberian proverb seems to embody the progress in addressing non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
