Nestlé Pakistan commemorated Children's Day with a contest to encourage healthy eating under its Nestlé for Healthier Kids (N4HK) program at its partner institution The Trust School here on Thursday.
Similar activities are planned with various partner schools across Pakistan, said a spokesman of the Company.
The N4HK program, a Nestlé's Global CSV (Creating Shared Value) initiative, empowers parents, caregivers and educators to foster healthier eating, drinking and lifestyle habits among school age children.
The children's day activity set participants the challenge to prepare healthy lunches to bring to school, which were assessed by culinary experts and nutritionists based on nutritional value, presentation and taste.Sharing his views about the activity, Tahir Yousaf, CEO of The Trust School said, "Through the years of our partnership with Nestlé for Healthier Kids Program, we have achieved significant improvement in the nutritional knowledge and practice of healthy lifestyle among children at our school. Lunch box content is a great activity as children learned about nutrition, food and health as they worked on preparing their own healthy-packed lunches with the help of their mothers.
Well-nourished children are much more equipped to grow and learn, act as productive members of the society."
