KRC UGANDA USES FRUIT PARTY TO PROMOTE GOOD NUTRITION AMONG LEARNERS

Pupils and teachers at Kasisi Primary School in Kabarole District were treated to a fruit party organized by KRC Uganda as part of efforts to promote healthy eating among school-going children. The call was made during a fruit party organized by KRC Uganda for learners at the school. The event brought excitement to the learners, with pupils getting an opportunity to enjoy different types of fruits. The school administration welcomed the initiative, saying regular consumption of fruits can contribute to better health and help prevent some diseases. Kasisi Primary School Headteacher Moses Musinguzi thanked KRC Uganda for organizing the fruit party. He called on parents to encourage their children to eat fruits regularly at home, saying this can help improve their health and wellbeing. Musinguzi says parents have an important role to play in ensuring children maintain healthy eating habits both at school and at home. Teacher Francis Alinaitwe says many pupils do not regularly eat fruits at home. He has appealed to parents to make fruits part of their children’s daily diet. The school says initiatives that promote healthy eating can help children develop good nutrition habits at an early age. KRC Uganda says the fruit party is aimed at encouraging pupils to appreciate the importance of fruits as part of a healthy diet.
