Health Promotion

I thought only boys can do exercise. I didn’t know the importance of exercise. From today I would like to do exercise and I will share it with my friends and family members. I would like to learn more exercise which I can do easily at house as we don’t have any specific place like others. – Rohingya student, Bangladesh

Staying physically active is such a simple, powerful way to improve our physical and mental health. Sadly, those who could benefit the most from daily exercise often face barriers that restrict access to such activities. This is especially true among displaced people who suffer from PTSD, depression, and other mental health illnesses.

Our materials are designed to encourage physical activity & healthy lifestyle habits in a contextualized, culturally sensitive manner – showing that exercise is for everyone.
