Wellness and Words: Empowering Minds and Nourishing Bodies...
At Wellness and Words, we believe in the transformative power of education.
About us
Welcome to Wellness and Words, a dedicated initiative under the umbrella of Bonne Santé Nigeria, an organization committed to childhood nutrition and child literacy. Our mission is to foster a healthier and more educated future for children by integrating the awareness of healthy eating with robust literacy programs. At Wellness and Words, we believe that a properly nourished body and a well-fed mind are the foundations of a child's holistic development.
Our Activities
Providing Reading Materials: We travel to educational centers in rural areas, bringing a wide range of reading materials to children who may not have access to them. Our goal is to ignite a passion for reading and learning by providing books that are both educational and engaging.
Organizing Spelling Bee Competitions: To encourage excellence and motivate children to improve their language skills, we organize spelling bee competitions. These events not only make learning fun but also instill a sense of healthy competition. We award prizes to the top performers, challenging all participants to strive for improvement and excellence.
Setting Up Reading Clubs: We establish reading clubs in schools and communities, creating spaces where children can gather to read and discuss books. These clubs foster a sense of community and support among young readers, encouraging them to share their love of literature and learn from each other.
Our Approach
Integrated Nutrition and Literacy Programs: We understand that nutrition and literacy are deeply interconnected. A well-nourished child is better equipped to concentrate, learn, and thrive academically. Therefore, our programs emphasize the importance of balanced nutrition alongside literacy. We educate children and their families about healthy eating habits and provide resources to support their nutritional needs.
Community Engagement: Our work extends beyond the children to include their families and the broader community. We conduct workshops and seminars on nutrition and literacy, involving parents and caregivers in the process. By engaging the entire community, we create a supportive environment that reinforces the values of health and education.
Sustainable Impact: We aim to create lasting change by developing sustainable programs that can be continued and maintained by the communities themselves. Our goal is to empower local educators and community leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to sustain these initiatives, ensuring long-term benefits for the children in local communities in Nigeria.
