The first session of “Girl Powered Nutrition” in Sri Lanka was held on the 8th of August, 2019 at OKI School Kadawatha.
Guides from various schools in Kadawatha attended this programme. First, they were asked to participate in a survey about their knowledge of nutrition. Next, they were informed about the programme and the activities were carried out according to the stages. The Guides had a lot of fun by participating in arts and crafts activities and making new friends.
Through “Girl Powered Nutrition” girls and young women will be able to reach their fullest potential as well-nourished citizens of the world. Currently, TOT training is being carried out to spread this programme throughout the country.
We are looking forward to your feedback!
