EON Thriving Communities Program
EON Thriving Communities Program
The EON Thriving Communities Program is an early intervention nutrition-based healthy lifestyle and disease prevention program. It is practical and holistic. EON works in partnership with remote communities and their schools to develop and grow large edible gardens to provide a secure, cheap supply of healthy fruit and vegetables. We deliver nutrition, cooking and hygiene education to school children as part of their regular school timetable and to adult community members through practical workshops. Sustainability is vital, so we also provide horticultural training and job opportunities. We walk alongside the school and community for five years to ensure sustainability.
EON Foundation acknowledges the Aboriginal people of the many traditional lands and language groups of Western Australia.
We acknowledge the wisdom of Aboriginal Elders both past and present and pay respect to Aboriginal communities of today.
