On 20 June 2026, Lili Grace Foundation was proud to partner with UNICEF Zimbabwe, Tinotenda Dzikiti and other key organisations to support a Type 1 Diabetes Education Workshop in Harare.
The workshop brought together more than 80 participants, including children, adolescents, young adults living with type 1 diabetes, parents, caregivers and family members.
Across the day, participants received practical education on blood glucose monitoring, insulin administration and storage, nutrition, exercise, diabetes emergencies and daily self-management.
For many families, this was more than an information session.
It was a chance to ask questions, build confidence and feel supported by healthcare professionals, advocates and others who understand the realities of living with type 1 diabetes.
We are grateful to Tinotenda Dzikiti, UNICEF Zimbabwe, Sanofi’s Global Health Unit for Sustainable Impact, SolidarMed, Sally Mugabe Children’s Hospital, Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals Diabetes Clinics and every facilitator who helped make this important workshop possible.
Together, we are helping children and young people living with type 1 diabetes access the education, support and confidence they need to live well.
