The Rotary Club of Barbados West is actively involved in combating childhood obesity through tailored programs and initiatives. Collaborating with partners, the club aims to reduce obesity rates, prevent chronic diseases, and promote healthy lifestyle habits from a young age.

Initiatives include a daily Breakfast Feeding Programme at the Good Shepherd Primary School, where a redesigned menu offers nutritious options like banana raisin pancakes and mini spinach omelettes. The club also assisted in sponsoring the 2 day ‘Healthy Living Expo” to raise awareness and showcase our project. Additionally, a partnership with Sandy Crest & Coverley Medical Centre provides free health checks for students, teachers, and parents. Future plans include Health & Wellness Pop Ups at the school, featuring fitness activities, product displays, and gardening projects to further promote healthy living.
