About Diabetes Consciousness for Community - DiCoCo

*What is DiCoCo? DiCoCo is a non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in Tanzania in 2018 under the NGO Act No. 24 of 2002. Its main mission is to raise awareness about diabetes within communities through education, advocacy, and support for people living with diabetes and their families. --------------- *Main Goals and Activities ✅ Diabetes Education for Communities DiCoCo provides accurate information about diabetes through workshops, radio and TV programs, and online campaigns to help people understand and manage the disease better. ✅ Training Diabetes Ambassadors They run programs to train people living with diabetes to become health ambassadors in their communities, sharing their experiences and educating others. ✅ Advocacy and Partnerships DiCoCo is a member of the Tanzania NCD (Non-Communicable Diseases) Alliance and partners with international organizations like T1International.
