Awareness Lectures "Healthy Nutrition"
   

Caritas Jordan/ Awareness Unit organizes a monthly health campaign concentrating on a certain topic whereby  lectures are given to beneficiaries with gifts distributed that are somehow related to the topic itself.

In Health sector, Nutrition plays a significant role in preventing and controlling many diseases. Healthy nutrition means a community with less illness, and stronger productive people.Raising awareness about Food choices and healthy eating habits was found to have a high impact on the community health especially among refugees, poor families, and migrant worker since those groups are at higher risk to malnutrition.

Accordingly, Caritas Jordan dedicated the month of August campaign to “Healthy Nutrition”.

 

Lectures were held for around (422) beneficiaries at Caritas Jordan Centers in order to increase awareness on the importance and role of healthy nutrition and its direct impact on one’s health, and provide scientific information and practical tips for healthier food choices and daily intake of servings, taking into consideration economical and cultural factors for each target group.
 

By the end of the lectures, the beneficiaries received a coloring book and a puzzle board with healthy nutrition information, designed in an interactive and educative style for kids to read and color the paintings.
