Our Mission

Marjorie’s Fund envisions a world where all people with diabetes are thriving.

The mission of MFund is to empower adults living with diabetes in resource-poor settings to not only survive but to effectively manage their diabetes and thrive.

To fulfill this mission, MFund develops and implements programs that focus on three areas: healthcare access, diabetes education, and economic empowerment.

HEALTHCARE ACCESS:

To improve access to diabetes healthcare and diabetes testing and treatment supplies by organizing clinics equipped with medical supplies and staffed by healthcare providers in a central location, facilitating patient and community outreach conducted by community health workers and peer educators, assisting with transportation costs, and subsidizing the purchase of diabetes testing and treatment supplies either locally or through international non-profit organizations. Patients with diabetes have the knowledge and resources critical to thriving with diabetes.

DIABETES EDUCATION:

To provide critically needed diabetes education to patients, healthcare providers, and support networks, including family and community,  with the goal of preventing health complications associated with poorly-controlled diabetes.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT:

To support income generation projects, vocational training, and partnerships with international groups to bring income directly back to patients, so patients living with diabetes have the means for sustainable access to the diabetes testing and treatment supplies which are essential to improve qualified of life and longer life expectancy
