But you already knew that...
Consider this: 2 children can live for 2 months for the money we spend eating lunch at a restaurant
Diabetes is preventable.
So are heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, blindness, and several other diabetes related complications if they are detected early.
Jnana Sanjeevini specializes in diabetes care, and has helped several hundred thousand people manage their diabetes. We've been doing that since 1987.

• Dual life saving conversation since the chance meeting between Umme's & Nabila's families 10 yrs ago
Former was struck with poverty, societal apathy, hopelessness & despair
Should a life/death outcome be left to chance?
Random chance is good, but we must do better!

• We did an honest audit in 2008. Dilemma about how to measure true “impact”
Sure, we were doing very well in terms of healthcare, and longevity, but are we prolonging the misery of these children just to let them succumb helplessly few years later? Pseudo-altruism or real justice?
DISHA: how can we measure “impact”?
Houston, we need to course-correct!
• Full support for formal school & college education [financial + counselling + monitoring]
Employment placement services through good Samaritans [including employers themselves having T1DM]
Special emphasis on the girl child
Funded by the same anonymous insulin donor of Project DISHA
Are we moving the needle in the right direction?
Professional aspirations of T1DM DISHA children (ind. survey)
~83% want to get into the medical stream. Coincidence?
Ensure increased awareness, accessibility & affordability to contemporary diabetes prevention & treatment strategies, to the economically underprivileged & socially neglected members of society.

Blueprint for Medical Census Data
Our approach is bottom-up where people's incentive to be medically screened is aligned perfectly with our project goal (universal health care to all)
• Cloud Hosting credits
Success relies on the availability of mobile devices. We plan to deploy 50 CHW's
