OUR IMPACT
Leveling Up School Health!
Health Promotion School Program
TongaHealth partnered with the Ministry of Education & Training (MET) to celebrate and invest in the health of our future generations. Through the Health Promoting Schools (HPS), we recognized and rewarded schools for their exceptional dedication to student well-being, granting Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze accreditations.
For the top-performing Platinum schools, this included building new playgrounds, providing children with safe spaces for active play. This initiative promote healthy lifestyles from an early age to combat non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and foster a healthy future for Tonga's children.
Cultivating a Healthy, More Food-Secure Tonga!
Vegetables & Seedling Distribution
TongaHealth partners with local nurseries to boost food security and healthy eating across the kingdom. We fund the propagation and distribution of thousands of fruit trees and vegetable seedlings to households and community groups on Tongatapu and the outer islands.
This initiative is supported by practical training in gardening and tree care, ensuring communities can grow their own nutritious food. We work inclusively to ensure these resources reach everyone, including the elderly and people with disabilities, cultivating a healthy and more self-reliant future for all.
Community Fitness & Health!
Community Zumba
TongaHealth partners with local fitness groups to boost physical activity and healthy living across the kingdom. We support a network of instructors and Zumba groups to deliver free, regular exercise classes to communities on Tongatapu and all the outer islands.
This initiative is supported by practical training for local leaders and nutrition workshops, ensuring communities can build and maintain healthy habits. We work inclusively to ensure these programs reach and engage everyone, including men, women and youth, building a stronger, healthier, and more active future for all.
Healthy Workforce, Happy Workforce!
Fiefia Sports
TongaHealth proudly sponsors the Ministry of Internal Affairs' 'Fiefia Sports' program. This program offers government and non-government workers the chance to participate in a variety of sports such as netball, volleyball, touch rugby, and hockey every Friday for six months each year.
Organized quarterly, the program provides a vital opportunity for office workers to engage in physical activity, promoting health and wellness after a week at their desks.
