KidStrong 2016

In 2006, Shanghai Roots & Shoots launched KidStrong – building a brighter future for migrant children. The program is a multi-faceted，interactive and sustainable approach that targets migrant children’s health, nutrition and education needs.

Shanghai Roots & Shoots currently works with six migrant schools around Shanghai to introduce a holistic health/hygiene/nutrition curriculum to the schools which includes a positive emphasis on nutrition, health, hygiene and dental hygiene. The student population of the six schools exceeded 4,800. Children of the migrant working population of Shanghai have no access to these topics, and the R&S curriculum is critical to their health and growth.  Through Shanghai Roots & Shoots all of these children are educated on the importance of good nutrition and healthy eating habits.
