About the Project

Launched in March 2025, Brush Of Hope has been working to positively enrich the lives of individuals with Type-1 Diabetes from socioeconomically marginalized families and communities in India. To create a tangible impact, by taking a detour from conventional interventions, Brush Of Hope aims to work not only with patients but also with caregivers and family members, who are instrumental in offering sustained support to patients within their immediate community. To that end, Brush Of Hope is on a mission to equip family members with original resources containing medical information, contacts for medical professionals, recreational storybooks as well as counseling support from expressive arts therapists, thereby expanding the scope of diabetes care today. 

In addition to this, the archives of Brush of Hope will also include the documentation of lived experiences by those with Type-1 Diabetes, a guide to understanding symptoms and lifestyle alteration, as well as a list of frequently asked questions. These anecdotes will also come from caregivers, thereby working towards widening the public’s understanding of the experience of navigating Type 1 Diabetes across different points and spaces in life.
