PROJECT NISAGINI 5.0 – PHASE 01

 “Better Tomorrow” the first phase of the project NISAGINI 5.0 was an awareness session on “Food Safety and Healthy Life Style”. This was conducted targeting school children with the aim of relieving hunger and malnutrition among different  age group or community. The majority of the participants were not aware of hunger and malnutrition and they were not used to be in a healthy life style. By considering the specific needs and perspectives of different age groups it was identified that the teenagers were  the most suitable age category to raise awareness about hunger and malnutrition, food safety and healthy life style. We believe that such programs are very important for the  future of the country as to be healthy and aware about good healthy practices and encourage them to maintain healthy diet routine. 

“Better Tomorrow” was successfully completed at St. Peter’s College, Negombo for grade 8 students with the participation of 260+ students physically and nearly 35 beneficiaries via zoom and YouTube platforms with the requirement of making the general public aware on these underlying matters. Awareness was created on topics such as hunger and malnutrition issues, healthy life style, avoidance about food poisoning and harmful practices on food consumption. 

Many important factors and current issues in terms of access to sufficient-affordable-nutritious food, healthy food patterns and food safety and avoidance of flavor-enhancing substances, sweeteners, chemicals for coloring and texture, and antioxidants and fast food were disclosed by the resource person Dr. O.T.M.R.K.S.B.Kalawana ,Senior lecturer of Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University of Colombo. 


Students were given with fresh fruits at the end of the session. We were received with positive and appreciable feedbacks from the Principal of the College, Teachers and participated beneficiaries. We believe that “Better Tomorrow”  contributed in making a positive change on healthy life style of the expected age group through interactions and obtaining the maximum output from the conducted session.
