What is MANA?
MANA is a Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic food. Each packet contains 500 calories that will provide essential nutrients to children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Without the intervention of MANA, these children will most likely die.
How does it work?
For every 500 calories burned by a HWSS student, our sponsor, Food for Famine Society, will donate a packet of MANA to a developing child in need.
Who is sponsoring the event?
Food for Famine Society is generously supplying and paying for all MANA packets that the students earn, and World Vision Canada will be sending the packets to the developing country of our choice.
When does the event start?
In recognition of World Food Day, we will kick off the Move 4 MANA initiative on October 16, 2017, at 10:00 AM, starting our 30 day challenge.
What is our Goal?
To save as many children’s lives as possible while promoting fitness in youth. We also hope to inspire youth across Canada to carry on Move 4 MANA!
Why is this Important?
This is the FIRST time this has been done in Canada. It has both local and global impact. Furthermore, this event will create awareness regarding nutritional challenges around the world.
Our Shared Vision
Our vision is to get active, save lives, and inspire youth.
