About The PJosh Diabetes Foundation

Who We Are

The PJosh Diabetes Foundation (PDF) is a registered Non-Governmental/Non-Profit Organization (RC 128359) under the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria. Our mission is to improve diabetes awareness, promote early diagnosis, and provide access to essential healthcare services and medical supplies for individuals living with diabetes across Africa.

Diabetes has become a global health crisis, disproportionately affecting Africa. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), more than 16 million people in Africa currently live with diabetes, and this number is projected to rise to 41 million by 2045. Shockingly, 1 in 2 people with diabetes remain undiagnosed, increasing the risk of severe complications and mortality.

At PDF, we believe that diabetes is not a death sentence—with early detection, proper management, and widespread education, individuals can lead full and productive lives. Our vision is a healthy, prosperous Africa where diabetes is no longer a silent killer.

Our Core Focus Areas

  • Awareness & Education – Conducting large-scale sensitization campaigns to dispel myths and promote diabetes prevention and management.
  • Screening & Early Diagnosis – Organizing free health screenings to ensure early detection and timely intervention.
  • Medical Support & Access to Treatment – Providing insulin, medications, and essential diabetes care products to underserved communities.
  • Advocacy & Policy Engagement – Collaborating with governments, healthcare institutions, and global partners to improve diabetes care infrastructure in Africa.
  • Community Empowerment – Equipping individuals with the tools and knowledge needed to take control of their health and prevent type 2 diabetes.

Our Vision: A Diabetes Center for Africa

To strengthen diabetes care and management in Africa, we are building a state-of-the-art Diabetes Center in Nigeria before 2030. This center will serve as a hub for:

  • Comprehensive diabetes care and treatment
  • Research and innovation in diabetes management
  • Training healthcare professionals on best practices
  • Public education and community outreach programs

We have already secured the land for this project and are preparing to kickstart construction. This milestone will be a game-changer for diabetes care in Africa, but we cannot achieve it alone.

The Urgent Need for Support

One of the greatest challenges in managing diabetes in Africa is poverty. Many individuals cannot afford insulin, medications, or basic healthcare services. As a result, diabetes-related complications—such as diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, and foot ulcers—continue to cause unnecessary suffering and loss of life.

At PJosh Diabetes Foundation, we are committed to providing these life-saving supplies and services free of charge. However, the scale of the problem requires collaborative action. We welcome partnerships, sponsorships, and volunteers to expand our reach and impact.

Join Us in the Fight Against Diabetes

The battle against diabetes in Africa cannot be won alone. Together, we can change lives, transform communities, and build a healthier future for generations to come.


The Prevalence Rate of Diabetes:


The prevalence rate of diabetes is on exponential increase globally. By 2030, it has been projected that over 640million persons will have diabetes.
Diabetes moved from been the 10th leading cause of death globally to becoming the 6th leading cause of diabetes and it is the leading cause of death in low income countries.
There is great need of organizations like PJosh Diabetes Foundation in Africa. Almost every family is at risk and many are dying daily because of undiagnosed diabetes .
Let's unite to fight and win this global pandemic.
