Diabetes support and education for children and youth in settings with limited resources for better disease management and health outcomes.
SEE ALL PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS
Since 2009, Lilly has provided more than 5.2 million vials and cartridges of insulin to support the Life for a Child program. Life for a Child provides diabetes support to children and youth with diabetes in settings with limited resources. That support includes insulin, delivery devices, monitoring supplies, medical care, diabetes education, complications screening and management, and advocacy. In 2021, Lilly announced plans to expand our support for Life for a Child and increase access to care to approximately 150,000 children and youth annually by the year 2030. To facilitate the expanded support, we have increased our contribution of mealtime and basal insulins and reusable pens, as well as financial support for the costs associated with storing, packing and shipping to countries in collaboration with Direct Relief.
