With around 90% of deaths in Armenia caused by noncommunicable diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension, the Healthy Heroes Challenge, a health and nutrition education initiative led by Armenian-American university students in middle schools across Armenia, empowers youth to make healthier choices early. Through a week-long after-school program in the spring filled with games, competitions, and hands-on learning, students build lifelong habits around nutrition and physical activity. Top participants earn a spot at our summer camp, an exciting reward that reinforces what they’ve learned through field trips and fun activities. The Healthy Heroes Challenge is about shaping a healthy future for Armenia, starting now.
