Volunteer Community
The Diabetes Association of Trinidad and Tobago was founded on July 2, 1988 and incorporated by an Act of Parliament (Act No. 15 of 1989) as a charitable, voluntary, community organization. In 1991, the Association joined the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), a worldwide association of seven main global regions and also belongs to the North American and Caribbean (NAC) region. Recently, the Diabetes Association has been registered as a Non-Profit Organization (NPO Act No. 7 of 2019).
Our Core Objectives:
