It empowers women by making them active partners in the care of their sick newborn. And the best part: this game-changing technique is gaining traction all around the world.

Why We Chose a Blue Half-Circle Arch for Our Campaign Entrance ? 🌀 As part of our campaign design, we selected a blue half-circle arch for the entrance because of its meaningful symbolism rooted in the global diabetes awareness movement: 1. The blue circle is the universal symbol for diabetes, representing global unity in the fight against the disease. 2. The circle symbolizes unity, wholeness, and cooperation, while also representing health and life in many cultures. 3. The blue color reflects the sky, signifying unity and the worldwide commitment to combating diabetes. This design was chosen to align with the campaign’s mission and inspire collective action in diabetes prevention and management.
