Stiftung Dianino – Kind sein. Trotz Diabetes.
About the funder
The Dianiño Foundation is a non-profit children and youth foundation based in Weichering (Bavaria), which has been committed for over 20 years to supporting children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their families. It complements medical care through a nationwide network of more than 200 volunteer “Dianiño Diabetes Nannies.” The foundation offers free, needs-based assistance in the home environment, in daycare centers, schools, as well as in sports and leisure clubs.

Mission & Vision
The Dianiño Foundation aims to provide children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes security, guidance, and inclusion in challenging situations. We believe that every child can lead a carefree and self-determined life despite their illness. Through practical everyday support and training for families as well as educational and sports caregivers, we close gaps in care and promote the psychosocial stability of our target group.
Target groups
The funding programs of the Dianiño Foundation are primarily aimed at children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes as well as their families in special stressful situations (e.g., following diagnosis, family crises, psychological burdens). Additionally, educational professionals in daycare centers and schools, coaches in sports and leisure clubs, and treating diabetes teams benefit from targeted training and support services. The assistance is free of charge and available nationwide.
