Objectives
Child Wellness Campaign pursue the following broad goals:
- To promote a general "wellness" education with the objective of improving children's’ health while reducing the incidence and controlling common and chronic childhood diseases such as obesity, asthma and diabetes.
- The campaign should serve as a "learning library" to allow children, caregivers and teachers acquire more than just a basic knowledge related to various health aspects.
In order to achieve our goals, we have established the following specific objectives:
- Provide knowledge combined with instructional techniques and strategies designed to effectively deliver accurate educational material related to the child's health.
- To increase awareness of common chronic diseases that should involve sharing information with families and the broader community to positively impact children and the health of the community.
- To provide support to families affected with chronic diseases while expanding community programs.
- Encourage families to be advocates for healthy children.
