Health and Wellbeing

Poverty, unemployment, and mental health issues, often make it near impossible for individuals to access healthy nutrition and fitness related activities. This programme enables clients to learn how to live a healthy and more holistic lifestyle, which can have a profound and positive impact on an individual’s emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.
