Our Investment Sectors
Physical Activity
Active children are healthier, learn better and have better control over their emotions.
By teaching them good physical activity habits and providing them with equipment and a program to promote these habits, we are trying to ensure that today's children adopt this lifestyle into adulthood.
Mental Health
Partnering with charities specializing in mental health to deliver programs that will help young people learn to self-regulate in order to acquire skills for success in school and in their social relationships.
Nutrition and Diet
Educating children on the benefits of good nutrition and the consequences of eating junk food.
This can be done through conversations and healthy cooking workshops, despite a low budget.
Healthy Lifestyles
To make sure that the next generation is healthy and ready to take over, we teach all children the importance of adopting healthy lifestyles, regardless of their geographic or socio-economic situation. We seek to offer inclusive and equitable programs.
