Geraldine Trada Foundation marked World Diabetes Day at Muhima Hospital, raising awareness and support for children with Type 1 Diabetes. The event highlighted the struggles of diabetic students, especially in boarding schools with limited meal options, making blood sugar management difficult. Parents and children shared challenges like stigma, lack of diabetes-friendly school policies, and limited access to essential supplies. While community-based health insurance covers insulin syringes, other critical diabetes tools remain inaccessible. The event reinforced the need for greater awareness, policy support, and improved care for diabetic children in Rwanda.
