Reflective Teens Trust, in collaboration with Meghna Group of Industries (MGI), is helping schoolchildren build healthier habits through interactive learning, hands-on activities, and personal health awareness.
Reflective Teens Trust (RT), in collaboration with Meghna Group of Industries (MGI), is implementing NutriFun, a school-based initiative designed to make nutrition education engaging, practical, and relevant to children’s everyday lives.
The programme began at Riverie School and is expanding across five schools in Dhaka, introducing students to the importance of balanced nutrition and informed food choices through an engaging, student-centred approach.
How NutriFun Works
NutriFun follows a three-part approach that connects knowledge with practical experience and personal reflection.
1. Interactive Learning Session
Each programme begins with an interactive session introducing students to nutrition, balanced diets, healthy food choices, and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Students are encouraged to participate and relate these concepts to their everyday eating habits.
2. Hands-on Learning Experience
Students participate in practical activities that help them apply what they have learned. This approach makes nutrition education more tangible and encourages active engagement beyond conventional classroom instruction.
3. Personal Health Awareness Through BMI Cards
Each student receives an individual BMI (Body Mass Index) card to support awareness of their health status and encourage healthier lifestyle choices. The cards serve as a tool for personal reflection and help students understand the importance of maintaining healthy habits.
BMI in children should be interpreted according to age and sex, ideally with guidance from a qualified health professional. The cards are intended to promote health awareness, not to label or stigmatize students.
Building Healthier Habits, One School at a Time
By combining interactive sessions, practical activities, and personal health-awareness tools, NutriFun aims to help children translate nutrition knowledge into everyday behaviour. The initiative provides an opportunity to introduce healthy eating concepts during the formative school years and encourage students to make more informed choices.
A Partnership for Children’s Well-being
Reflective Teens Trust extends its sincere gratitude to Meghna Group of Industries (MGI) for partnering with us to bring NutriFun to schoolchildren. This collaboration helps make nutrition education more accessible and engaging for young learners.
We believe every child deserves the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their health. With implementation underway across five schools in Dhaka, NutriFun is just getting started.
More schools, more students, and more opportunities to make nutrition education fun.
