When children participate in UNICEF Kid Power, their everyday activity can help nourish a severely malnourished child. They become empowered when they realize their steps add up and count toward saving the life of a child in need.
Additionally, active students are better learners. An independent evaluation of UNICEF Kid Power in Sacramento schools found that kids participating in the program were 55% more active than their peers not participating. Students who engage with Kid Power have also been shown to achieve recommended levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) 44% more days than their peers.
UNICEF Kid Power brings innovative, easy-to-use technology into the classroom, inspiring students to learn about malnutrition, get more active and help their peers around the world. 95% of teachers who have participated in UNICEF Kid Power would recommend the program to their peers.
