Why did you create this innovation?
Launched in 2012, Sahtak Awalan uses high-profile educational outreach programs to reach all members of the community, but with a particular focus on youth. Programs include Project: Greenhouse, Yalla Natural, the Color Run and Khayr Qatarna. People are encouraged to take responsibility for their own health by learning about the benefits of a good diet and regular exercise, sustainability and the environment. The programs of Sahtak Awalan promote this, e.g. The Color Run demonstrates that exercise can be fun, and the not-for-profit Khayr Qatarna grows food for the community, improving sustainability and reducing imports.
