As a part of celebrations for their upcoming Independence Day, St Kitts and Nevis hosted a wellness walk in the sister islands under SKN Moves’ initiative. This initiative aims to create a healthy lifestyle culture centred on healthy eating practices, regular physical activity and routine health checks/screenings.
A large number of citizens and residents from all walks of life came out early on Saturday, September 10, 2022, for the Independence Wellness Challenge Walk.
The Wellness walk was a part of the itinerary of events that St Kitts and Nevis have established as a part of the celebration of the 39th anniversary of the independence of St Kitts and Nevis.
The SKN moves initiative was established by the health ministry, St Kitts and Nevis, to empower the people of St Kitts and Nevis to be more physically active in their daily lives and make healthier eating choices.
The citizens will be able to do this by taking advantage of the increased availability of accessible, safe and enabling physical environments and improved food security. Thus making a healthy choice is easy and affordable for them.
