Healthy Heroes Challenge
A healthy lifestyle and nutrition education initiative led by Armenian-American university students, empowering middle schoolers in Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora to make healthier choices.
Why a nutrition education program?
Noncommunicable diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension account for 90% of deaths in Armenia . . .
Many of these diseases can be prevented or mitigated through healthy lifestyle habits, especially when adopted early in life
Making Change Around the World
Armenia
In partnership with Armenia’s School Feeding and Child Welfare Agency (SFCWA), we bring the Healthy Heroes Challenge to schools across the country through fun, engaging camps and after-school programs.
Armenian Communities in the U.S.
Through after-school programs and hands-on sessions, we partner with Armenian-American youth groups and Sunday schools to deliver a version of the Healthy Heroes Challenge tailored to the unique needs and experiences of Armenian communities in the U.S.
