World Diabetes Foundation
Catalysing change for those in the greatest need
Diabetes is hitting developing countries the hardest. The World Diabetes Foundation helps developing countries improve diabetes prevention and care by supporting partners at every level – from grassroots organisations to national, regional and global entities. In Guinea, the WDF partners with Naby Baldé, regional chair of the IDF Africa.
The WDF has supported more than 555 projects in 116 countries to date – projects that continue to benefit local communities long after WDF funding ends, and together are acting as a catalyst for global change.
WDF was created in 2002 by Novo Nordisk as an independent foundation under Danish law, and has since been supported by several Novo Nordisk endowments.
