Voices Of Hope
At SOO-DAWI, every life touched is a story worth sharing. Our Testimonials celebrate the voices of individuals, families, and communities whose lives have been changed through awareness, care, and support.
I’ve had diabetes for a few months now, but the medicine is too expensive. The doctor said I should take it twice a day, but I can only manage once a day, three times a week, so it lasts longer. SOO-DAWI told me that’s risky and not safe. They’re now helping me find better, affordable ways to manage my health.

When I found out I had diabetes, I didn’t tell anyone. I felt ashamed. But after talking to the SOO-DAWI team, I realised it’s not something to hide. I’ve told my family, and I feel free. SOO-DAWI helped me get insurance to cover my doctor visits and monthly medicine. That’s a big relief.

After SOO-DAWI’s health class at school, I now understand what food is good or bad for my body. I also learnt that girls like me are more likely to get sick from diabetes if we don’t take care of ourselves. So now, I’m being more careful with what I eat and drink, and I’m telling my friends and family too. We all need to know this.

I’m pregnant and didn’t know I had prediabetes. Antenatal never told me. It was SOO-DAWI’s free screening that caught it. I’m really glad I went. Now, they’re helping me eat better and take care of myself and my baby.

I didn’t know I had diabetes until SOO-DAWI came to our area. I went for the free test, and that day changed everything. I’ve started making better choices, so I don’t fall seriously ill. I thank God I showed up.

I found out I’m prediabetic at the SOO-DAWI screening. I didn’t even know what that meant before. They explained it well and showed me what to do. I’ve started eating better and moving more. I feel in charge of my health now.
Mosunmola A.
Lagos State - Nigeria
My son and I both have high sugar and blood pressure. We mostly eat carbs because that’s what we have. But SOO-DAWI taught us how to portion our meals properly, more vegetables, balance our starch, protein, and oil. They even gave us a glucometer and a journal to track our sugar. Our numbers are better now. They still check on us.

I knew I had diabetes, but my medicine wasn’t helping. I still peed a lot and couldn’t sleep. I didn’t know food was part of the problem. SOO-DAWI’s nutritionist explained everything and helped me change my diet. Now, I feel so much better.
