Making Healthy Choices Easier

Healthy behaviours are more likely to be adopted when the structural factors and the barriers are removed. Health literacy,  without support, is a “victim blame strategy”.

Free access to healthy food distribution to families and nutritious school meals, is delivered adopting the Food Banks strategy of collecting surplus healthy nutritious food from across farmers and retailers, store them, and distribute to family homes and schools addressing socio-economic barriers to healthy eating.

Personal hygiene is delivered in partnership with the WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) framework and adds supervised toothbrushing with fluoridated toothpaste in schools.

The AHI model developed a physical activity programme that can be implemented in schools without sports facilities.
