This program aims to promote health and nutrition for infants to preschool-aged children in the Philippines. It was established due to high rates of malnutrition among young children. A health promotion wagon will travel to identified communities, educating parents on ensuring children's well-being and developing healthy habits through lectures, games, and demonstrations. It will also provide feeding programs. The expected outcomes are educated parents who apply nutrition guidance and empowered children with improved comprehension of health. The success will be measured by decreased malnutrition rates, parental application of lessons, and overall enhanced wellness in the target barangay.

where the children are in urgent need of
assistance. After identifying the barangay, the
group will coordinate with the local government
unit and health center to assess the current
health situation of infants and preschoolers.
METHODOLOGY

there and use methodologies like
lectures, role-playing, games, video
presentations, and demonstrations to
make sure that the subjects and content
could be understood by both the parents
and, most importantly, the kids.
