The project introduced a citrus press in the school to limit the consumption of high-sugary industrial juices and hence encourage the intake of fresh natural fruit juices for a better health and well-being of the students.
Although it took time to persuade students on the benefits of healthy food habits, students, and their parents, have now taken in new food habits. The awareness raising on the advantage of an equilibrate and saloubrious diet was shared during lessons in the classrooms. In parallel, the project offered a professional training on juice making to unemployed mothers and girls. They worked happily aware of their contribution to the well-being of the school community.
The project successfully achieved its goals of promoting healthier drinking habits among students and empowering unemployed mothers and girls through professional training.
