Nestlé has reached out to over 75,000 African children strengthening their knowledge in best health practices.
The Nestlé Central and West Africa (CWAR) through its workshop with the partners of its Healthy Kids programme significantly shared best practices and discussed how to strengthen and scale up the initiative in the region.
Nestlé seeks to promote healthy eating and active lifestyles to help children achieve and maintain a healthy body weight into adulthood.
The Nestlé Healthy Kids programme forms an integral part of the company’s commitment to help children develop positive habits that will last a lifetime.
In Central and West Africa, the initiative has already benefitted more than 75,000 school-aged children in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal.
The programme is developed and implemented in partnership with Ministries of Education, Health, universities or non-governmental organisations and tailored to local health and nutritional needs.
