Nestlé helps Kelaniya Maha Vidyalaya

Nestlé Lanka completed its 24th ‘Healthy Kids’ programme at the Kelaniya Maha Vidyalaya, empowering close to 4,000 children with key nutritional information, the company said this week.

The Nestlé Healthy Kids Programme is a global initiative by Nestlé to address significant nutrition issues faced around the world. The company joined hands with the Ministry of Education and the University of Peradeniya, to develop an interactive, modern and easy-to-understand nutrition awareness programme for Sri Lankan children between the ages of 13 to 17 years - an age group some classify as 'nutrition ambassadors' of the next generation.

The programme educates school children on good food habits, nutritional deficiencies, food related disorders, food hygiene, and techniques to safeguard the nutritional value of food during preparation and has already been implemented at schools across Sri Lanka for close to 4,000 school children, the company said.

The company also opened its 14th Drinking Water Fountain in the country to supply clean drinking water to the students of the Kelaniya Maha Vidyalaya school. These drinking water facilities are in line with the company’s initiatives to support Sri Lanka achieve some of its Millennium Development Goals.
