Area: New Corella, Philippines

Project period: 2011-2018

Organized by: Asosasyon ng mga Nagkahiusang Alagad sa Kalamboan -New Corella (ANAK-NC)

Background:

In the Philippines, the increase of lifestyle diseases has become an emerging issue even in rural and mountainous villages. It is caused by the easier access to high-fat, high-sugar and high calorie food and drinks at low price, and the insufficient knowledge and consciousness on healthy life and dietary style.

Activities: 

Health promotion activities in collaboration with local residents and the local government in 4 barangays (later expanded to another 4 barangays) of the municipality New Corella to prevent and cure non-communicable disease.
