SLDHA joins Regional Voices in Celebrating International Youth Day and Advocating for a Healthier Future

As the world celebrates International Youth Day, the Saint Lucia Diabetes and Hypertension Association (SLDHA) proudly joins the voices of Caribbean youth, the Healthy Caribbean Coalition (HCC), and fellow regional advocates in championing a shared call for action: a healthier, more supportive environment for our children and young people.

 

This year’s observance brings renewed focus to the critical need for:

 

A healthier nation

Healthier children and youth

A healthier school food environment

 

Youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow; they are the changemakers of today. We must equip them with access to nutritious food, safe environments, and opportunities to thrive both physically and mentally.

 

By empowering our youth with healthier choices, we invest in a brighter, stronger Caribbean. The SLDHA is committed to working collaboratively across sectors to ensure our children and youth grow into resilient, informed, and empowered leaders.

 

Together, let us save our youth. Together, let us build a healthier future.
