Mai Wiru Sugar Challenge Foundation Details
The Mai Wiru Sugar Challenge Foundation is an indigenous community-led initiative, implementing nutrition programs in central Australia's remote APY Lands. After two years of consultation, and multiple visits from nutritionists to indigenous communities, Damon Gamueau and his team are working on three key projects: opening healthy living cafes, funding permanent nutritionists on the ground, and intensive nutrition workshops. This is all made possible by the kind donations from you, the Australian and International community.Our sole purpose and directive is to deliver a strategy to change the culture of food consumption on the APY Lands, supporting nutritionists in community stores and educating the community about nutrition.Our Mission is to reduce the amount of sugar intake in the APY Lands from 30% to 5%, as recommended by the World Health Organisation, by working with the community to provide guidance on nutrition, and to offer and teach about healthy food and drink alternatives - as recommended by the World Health Organisation.Professor Paul Torzillo, Medical Director of Nganampa Health Council said in Fighting for "Good Food" (Mai Wiru), submitted by Lorenzo Piemonte, International Diabetes Foundation (2015) "The rates of obesity and insulin resistance syndrome in our communities are now so high that the majority of the adult population over 35 will be affected. This provides a situation in which we are not aiming to target a subset or at risk group of the population with a nutrition strategy but our whole population is both at risk and suffering disease."Fighting for "Good Food" (Mai Wiru), submitted by Lorenzo Piemonte, International Diabetes Foundation (2015)
