Healthy
We run an integrated healthcare project that promotes healthy habits for children at risk of social exclusion at the Santiago Apòstol school in the Cabañal neighborhood of Valencia.
The program aims to improve the general state of health status of the students at the school by providing healthcare at the educational center through the school Nurse, who also provides Education for Health workshops for students, staff, and families at the school. At the same time, it offers the students a high-quality balanced meal and promotes physical activity and sport.
Great engagement from the teaching community is a crucial element for this initiative because it requires collaboration between students, parents, teachers, and non-teaching school staff.
The project is having a very positive impact on health and has reduced the rate of overweight children at the school by 10%.
This program directly benefits 277 people in the educational community.
