Childhood Wellness Worldwide 2010-2016
"The current generation may even be on track to have a shorter lifespan than their parents due to Obesity." - White House Let’s Move Campaign Flyer
Malnutrition is a rampant problem that impacts children worldwide. Typically stemming from poverty,malnutrition can manifest itself from the extreme of childhood obesity to the opposite extreme of childhood starvation. The Childhood Wellness project intends to tackle this issue by empowering children and their parents to take responsibility for not only their own health, vitality, and joy,but also for that of their community. We believe that by educating and empowering families across the globe, we can transform the wellness of children worldwide.
Since January 2012, Fana Volunteer Instructors have developed 10 free and fun after-school classes, teaching over 100 students and parents at our pilot school, Oak View Elementary in Huntington Beach, CA. In 2014, Fana launched its 2nd after-school program in the neighboring Oak View Preschool. Fana also held 5K Walks in 2011 & 2012 to raise funds for its Childhood Wellness Program.
