Wearables for Good: UNICEF Kid Power Promotes Fitness and Saving Lives
Wearables for good: UNICEF Kid Power promotes fitness and saving lives – We use wearable technology for a number of reasons, whether it’s to keep fit, stay connected or learn more about ourselves.
Now, UNICEF is tapping into the power of wearables for social good by debuting a new youth-focused initiative. The UNICEF Kid Power program, which the US Fund for UNICEF announced on Wednesday, encourages American elementary school students to stay active with a special fitness band. Each participant tracks his or her steps, racking up points that are then converted into life-saving nutrition packets for malnourished children in developing countries.
Approximately 10,000 kids in New York, Boston and Dallas will participate in the first initiative throughout the month of March, tracking their physical activity for 30 days, and learning more about healthy lifestyles and child malnutrition in class.
