PROMOTING HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES!

The President’s Youth Advisory Council (PYAC) is proud to advance its Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Choices Campaign, a national youth-focused initiative aimed at promoting improved nutrition, physical wellbeing, and informed lifestyle habits among young people across Guyana.

This campaign responds to growing concerns around dietary patterns, sedentary behaviour, and long-term health outcomes. It seeks to empower youth with the knowledge and practical tools necessary to make healthier daily choices, while fostering a culture of wellness within schools and communities.

A key feature of the campaign is the Healthy Recipe Competition, designed for students to creatively engage with nutrition in a fun, practical, and culturally relevant way. Participants are challenged to develop balanced, affordable meals using locally available ingredients. The competition encourages innovation, builds life skills, and reinforces the importance of healthy eating from a young age.

Through partnerships with schools, government agencies, and community stakeholders, the campaign will deliver interactive sessions, educational materials, and public awareness activities. Together, these efforts aim to inspire sustainable behavioural change and contribute to a healthier, more resilient generation of young Guyanese.
