CHRONIC DISEASE AWARENESS -CHRODA 2021.

CHRODA 2021, a funded project by Moniheli, brought together 25 mothers from West Africa in a focused group intervention named HEALTH TRANSFORMATION. The project lasted six months, during which mothers were guided on different chronic diseases, diet, and physical activity.
Free health checks were conducted at the beginning of the project and the end. Mothers also learned healthier ways of cooking African dishes and the importance of consuming fruits and vegetables daily. During the six months, a series of interventions were done, including a 10-day green smoothie cleanse, 30 day water challenge, cardio dance sessions, a skipping rope challenge, relaxation, breathing exercises, etc. The women also better understood the relationship between sleep and weight gain, D vitamins and calcium, stress management, etc. More than half of the participants lost weight during the six-month intervention.
