Life for a Child Support

Commenced 2002

We began supporting 15 children in the city of Nagpur in Central India and currently help 45 children and adolescents. These children are cared for by the DREAM Trust, which provides care for children and youth with diabetes from impoverished circumstances. Some of the children receiving care travel many hours to attend clinic.

Quality medical care, insulin and syringes, monitoring and education are all provided. Using funds from a Foundation, we also supported education of patients and their families, health professionals, and educational scholarships for a number of the children.
