Kid Scoop Foundation believes that there is a direct link between literacy and physical health. And while educating kids on the merits of making healthy choices is a great start, it is not enough to ensure follow-through. What we need is to help kids make up their own minds about how to lead a healthier life by encouraging discourse among young people so they can share ideas and learn from one another. By empowering young people to initiate change in their own lives and then share what they have learned with their local communities, we achieve a greater overall behavioral impact than by any other means.
