About the Program: 

The Healthy Eating Initiative’s purpose is to promote and educate people on the importance of eating healthy and a healthy lifestyle. The Healthy Eating Initiative (HEI) is an international organization with the goal of encouraging a healthy lifestyle and increasing awareness regarding childhood nutrition. To this end, various chapters across the world, led by secondary school students, conduct weekly health and nutrition lessons at a local primary school. With the full support of the executive leadership of the HEI, we are looking to implement a nutrition curriculum designed in collaboration with pediatricians. We also hope to enhance our chapter with various school-wide and community-wide activities.
