The mission of UWAD is to promote diabetes care, control, prevention, awareness and working to increase access of essential medicines and insulin for diabetic people.

India is diabetes capital in the world as per WHO more than 69.1 million people have living with diabetes and 50%are women and rural areas women never go for any diagnosis they are suffering from diabetes but they are not aware.

We believe all women with diabetes should have access to a healthy support system that includes peers with diabetes. A healthy peer support system provides encouragement, empowerment, and education with the purpose of helping each woman reach her full potential in life. An empowered, informed woman with diabetes is a healthy woman with diabetes.

Type 1 diabetic children require awareness and Insulin because 10% diabetic population of type 1 children and with out insulin they can not survive.
