The Ministry of Municipality, in association with LuLu Hypermarket, conducted an event titled “Healthy Lunch Box” on the occasion of the new school year, a statement said Monday.
The event at the LuLu branch in the Old Airport area saw officials from both the ministry and Lulu Hypermarket marking a significant step towards promoting awareness about the importance of healthy eating.
The primary aim of the campaign is to educate children on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and the importance of making nutritious food choices.
As part of the initiative, LuLu Hypermarket distributed healthy meals to 500 children, along with water bottles and other gifts.
The ministry praised LuLu Hypermarket for their dedicated efforts in supporting such activities, emphasising that such initiatives play a crucial role in fostering long-term healthy habits among the younger generation.
The event also provided children with the opportunity to showcase their talents and skills in drawing and colouring, where they could creatively express their understanding of healthy foods.
Educational brochures and leaflets were also distributed to further reinforce the key messages of the event.
The ministry highlighted its ongoing support and commitment to educating consumers about the principles of food safety and health.
This back-to-school event is part of a broader initiative by the ministry to ensure that children in Doha are well-informed about the critical role that nutrition plays in their overall well-being.
LuLu Hypermarket also renewed and affirmed its commitment to supporting all educational programmes that promote a healthy lifestyle, the statement added.
