Cumulative Project Results 2002-2022
From 2002 to 2022, the WDF contributed 197.7 million euros to 595 projects in 119 countries. Each euro WDF provides is matched with approximately 2 euros in cash or in-kind contributions from other sources.
The cumulative project results
- Over 24,000 clinics established or strengthened
- Over 50,000 teachers trained
- Over 3 million children and parents educated
- Over 8.8 million patients treated at clinics
- Over 16 million people screened for diabetes
It's important to note that these results are based on internal reporting to WDF during each project. Even after completing WDF projects, trained medical staff, improved clinics, and increased awareness continue to benefit local communities.
Commitment to sustainability
Sustainability is a core focus of the World Diabetes Foundation. We aim to support projects that are impactful, sustainable, scalable, and integrated into existing health systems wherever possible. Our goal is to ensure that the benefits of our projects continue to reach and benefit local communities even after WDF funding ends.
