Empowerment/Skill Acquisition
Research has shown that most killer diseases are induced by diet. These diseases include hypertension, obesity and cancer among others. Prevention is attainable with adoption of good food choices and positive lifestyles.
The choice of children and young people is hinged on our conviction that orientation on healthy food choices and values is ideal.
