Building Bridges – Women Helping Women from Kenya to California
The Story of the Pancreas Pillows 
Kenya is where our story starts - Young women, who are part of the Just One Person organization, sew hundreds of pancreas shells using a treadle sewing machine and indigenous cloth. The girls are pictured here having fun balancing the pancreases on their heads.
From Kenya the pancreas shells are shipped to Diabetes Education Services in California.
In California, Lynsea Wells and her daughter lovingly stuff, sew up and add the beta cells to the pancreas partner.
Lynsea is a mom to a busy four year old little girl named Hudson. She is passionate about helping and is always the first to join a community outreach for neighbors in need. She is excited to show her creative side helping us make Pancreas Pillows!
The women from Kenya to California are paid to sew and stuff the pancreases. Plus, all profits after the sale of the pancreases are contributed back to Just One Person. We are proud to be a part of this collective of women, working hard to build a brighter future for generations to come.
Customers often purchase the complete teaching package of the Pancreas Partner plus DiaCell. See below to learn more!
