Our History
VIOLA DIABETES FOUNDATION
The Viola Diabetes Foundation was founded in December 2020 by Ruby Biaku with support from her siblings.
It was initially named the Viola Biaku Diabetes Foundation in honour of their mother, Mrs Viola Grace Afua Biaku, who lived well with Type 2 diabetes for nearly 40 years.
The foundation’s primary aim at that time was to support diabetes care in Leklebi Kame and Kudzra, the home villages of Viola and her children. In these communities, residents had to risk their lives by using illegal and unsafe commercial motorbikes (also called Okada) to travel several miles across several villages to check their blood sugar, as there were no testing or diabetes services available at the local health centre.
Soon after the launch of the foundation and seeing the positive impact of their efforts on the community, the board resolved to expand their services to other rural and underserved communities across Ghana. Consequently, the foundation’s name was changed to the Viola Diabetes Foundation to better reflect this broader mission.
The foundation’s logo features a lotus flower, symbolising health, and the colour violet, associated with the name Viola, is represented in various shades throughout the foundation’s branding.
