What the site is
Eco Foundation is the editorial name used by eco-foundation.online. It is an independent information website focused on diabetes literacy and everyday lifestyle topics for readers in Kenya. No company name, company registration number, tax number, charity registration, medical-practice licence or clinic identity has been provided for this project, so the site does not present itself as any of those things.
Purpose
The purpose is to make common diabetes concepts easier to understand without turning general information into personal medical instructions. Our scope includes healthy eating patterns, physical activity, sleep, tobacco avoidance, beverage choices, blood-glucose monitoring concepts, routine screening and preparation for healthcare appointments.
Who this is for
The main audience is adults looking for understandable background before or after a healthcare conversation. It can also help family members learn supportive language. It is not designed to manage emergencies, calculate insulin doses, prescribe medication, diagnose diabetes, or interpret an individual's laboratory results.
Editorial principles
- Use plain English before technical terminology.
- Distinguish established guidance from practical examples.
- Avoid shame, miracle language, guarantees and fear-based claims.
- Prefer locally familiar examples when they can be used accurately.
- Make limits visible: personal targets, medicines and monitoring schedules belong in clinical care.
- Update pages when reliable guidance materially changes.
How topics are selected
We prioritise questions that affect daily decisions: what a glucose test means, how to think about a mixed meal, how to reduce long periods of sitting, what a food label can and cannot tell you, and what information is useful to bring to an appointment. We avoid content that encourages self-prescribing or replacing established treatment with supplements or unverified remedies.
How this site is funded
The declared business model is affiliate publishing. In an affiliate model, a publisher may receive a commission when a reader follows a clearly identified partner link and completes a qualifying action. However, no affiliate network, partner, product destination or CTA URL has been supplied for this release. Therefore, the current version contains no active affiliate destination and no commission-generating outbound product link.
If affiliate relationships are introduced later, they should be disclosed close to relevant links and on the Affiliate Disclosure page. Payment must not buy a favourable editorial conclusion, and commercial relationships must not be presented as clinical endorsements.
Contact and identity
Site contact: [email protected]. Telephone: +254 740 168 723. Contact address: Kimathi Street, Starehe, Nairobi, Kenya. These are contact details supplied for this website; they are not used to imply an unprovided company, clinic or charity registration.
Medical boundary
General education can help people participate in their care, but it cannot safely account for every medicine, pregnancy, kidney condition, acute illness, insulin regimen or other personal factor. Readers should use qualified healthcare professionals for diagnosis, treatment decisions and urgent concerns.
