Overview

Eat for Life is one of the pillars of ICLDC’s public health awareness campaign, Diabetes.Knowledge.Action and invites the community to consider what makes up a balanced diet.

Eat for Life reaches out to children, parents, teachers and caregivers with regular workshops held at schools, universities, community centres and organisations across Abu Dhabi and neighbouring Emirates. This interactive programme encourages children to consider what they eat, including a session that encourages everyone to participate in the preparation of a healthy lunchbox.

With the support of the Sheikha Salama Bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation, the campaign has been able to help communicate the benefits of a balanced diet and regular exercise to thousands of school children.
