Welcome to the Lili Grace Foundation

Welcome to the Lili Grace Foundation (LGF)! We are excited to launch our blog as a space for storytelling, awareness, and connection in our shared mission to support children with Type 1 diabetes in Zimbabwe.

At LGF, our mission is simple but powerful: to improve the lives of children with Type 1 diabetes in Zimbabwe. We are committed to enhancing access to life-saving insulin, essential diabetic supplies, mental health services, and education through a phased, scalable approach.

By steadily expanding our support and collaborating with existing diabetes charities, we strive to build a future where every young person affected by diabetes enjoys easier access to life-saving care.

Through compassionate care and community-driven initiatives, we aim to create a future where no child is held back by their diagnosis.

Why We Exist

For many children in Zimbabwe, living with Type 1 diabetes is more than a daily health challenge—it’s a matter of survival. Access to insulin and other necessary medical supplies can be difficult, and the emotional and social toll on children and families is immense. Our foundation was born out of a deep desire to address these challenges and to provide not just aid, but hope and empowerment.

Our work is rooted in empathy and understanding, driven by personal connections to the cause and a deep belief in the strength of community. Whether we are providing clinics for diabetic care, supporting children with psychological counseling, or empowering families with education, every action is guided by our core values: compassion, integrity, and community.

How We Work Together

Our impact wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated team, partners, and supporters. Corporate sponsors and donors make it possible for us to hold regular medical clinics and cover the costs of employing skilled doctors and psychologists. Volunteers help bring our vision to life through event planning, fundraising, and community outreach. Every supporter plays a crucial role in making our mission a reality.

What’s Next?

Through this blog, we’ll share stories of the children and families we serve, updates on our programs, educational resources, and ways you can get involved. We’ll also spotlight the incredible partners and volunteers who make our work possible and explore the importance of advocacy and awareness in the fight for better access.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we can build a brighter, healthier future for children with Type 1 diabetes. Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to explore ways you can support or join our mission.

Let’s make a difference together!

With gratitude,
The Lili Grace Foundation Team
