Nestlé Healthy Women

Empowering Women Through Nutrition Awareness

As the world’s largest Nutrition, Health and Wellness Company, with more than 150 year long global nutrition heritage, Nestlé has nutrition knowledge to offer as part of its Creating Shared Value (CSV) initiatives. We believe that women can be truly empowered when they are healthy, thus enabling them to utilize their full potential.

Nestlé Healthy Women

Nestlé Healthy Women is a comprehensive nutrition program which was launched in 2014 with the belief that women play an integral role in ensuring the health and wellbeing of the entire family. Our goal is to empower young women with basic nutrition knowledge so they make smart nutrition choices and adopt a healthy lifestyle for themselves and their future generations. The program is being implemented in urban and rural areas of Pakistan. Through continuous engagement, we are making progress on improved nutrition outcomes.

Urban Program

Nestlé Healthy Women Program was introduced at universities in 2014 to motivate young women (17-24 years) to adopt a healthier lifestyle as they are foundation of a healthy society. The program has set a campaign with multiple stages each with a reward for those who make it to the next stage. To date the program has reached out to more than 6500 young women across 12 universities nationwide.

Rural Program

Women play a decisive role in food security, health, and nutrition of their families. Lack of awareness regarding health and nutrition contribute to the under-nutrition and malnutrition among many rural women. Nestlé has up scaled the Healthy Women Program to rural areas in partnership with Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) for the health and wellbeing of rural communities. The program aims to contribute towards improving health, nutrition, hygiene and livelihood status in the rural areas of Pakistan with a special focus on women and adolescent girls. The program is designed to support and empower rural women through nutrition counselling sessions which engage and inform them about the need for proper nutrition for them and their families.

By 2021, Nestlé Healthy Women aims to reach out to more than 15,000 women through nutrition awareness sessions in urban & rural areas of Pakistan
