Additional multi-cultural resources
Further Educational resources can be found on the Life For A Child website.
The International Diabetes Federation “Life for a Child” Programme was established in 2000 with support from Diabetes NSW & ACT and HOPE worldwide.
It is an innovative and sustainable support programme in which individuals, families and organisations contribute monetary or in-kind donations to help children with diabetes in developing countries.
The formula is simple: contributions from donors go to established diabetes centres enabling them to provide the ongoing clinical care and diabetes education children need to stay alive.
