At Glance

  • Indonesia Ministry of Health data in 2015 shows that the average level of energy and protein sufficiency for adolescents is only 72.3%.
  • And 52.5% of adolescents even experience severe energy deficiency (<70% daily energy requirement)

 


 

Our Strategy

 

 

  • Increasing the understanding and capacity of young people about nutrition to adopt a healthy lifestyle
  • Increasing public understanding, especially teachers and parents, regarding the importance of nutritional information in every food and drink consumed

 


 

Why focus on Nutrition?

 

Young people consume food and drink without knowing and understanding what nutrients are contained therein. Many foods and drinks do not have sufficient or little nutritional intake which are beneficial to the body, and even tend to be unhealthy. An understanding of nutritional intake for the body will help young people adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors.
