The Campus Wellness Initiative (CWI) is a project targeted project aimed at improving the wellbeing of the student population at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Focused on promoting healthier eating habits, CWI successfully addressed the challenges students face in accessing affordable and nutritious meals on campus. As students living on campus, we have experienced firsthand the difficulty of affording a balanced diet due to the high cost of foodstuffs. Understanding the importance of good nutrition for overall health and cognitive performance, we conducted research to identify cheaper food alternatives that provide essential nutrients. Through this initiative, students were educated on practical and healthier food substitutes, equipping them with the knowledge to make better dietary choices despite financial constraints. CWI effectively empowered the campus community to prioritize their nutrition and wellbeing.
