Progress To Date

Nutri Ventures continued to make available at no cost a Nutri-Guardians website. Instead of providing all content for free as it has in the past, Nutri Ventures now provides a sampling of materials for free and offers additional materials for purchase. The Nutri-Guardians site is geared towards US education and health professionals, such as teachers, nutritionists, nurses and doctors. It offers a sample of teaching materials, including video lessons, worksheets, and other education material that contain information on nutrition and healthy lifestyles using Nutri Ventures animated characters (32 free activities total). Nutri Venture also continued to make available a website aimed at parents of children ages 4-10, which provided tools such as tips and recipes to help parents educate their children on healthy eating. Since the website's official launch in October 2014, through July 2016, there have been more than 13,000 users and over 73,000 page views and downloads.

Partner Statement

“In the last 6 months, we have been working with PHA to identify Organizations, working in Education in the United States, which would be interested in receiving the Nutri Guardian content in their schools. This material would allow teachers to give fun and efficient classes about proper nutrition to students form 4 to 9 years old. So far, we already identify one major Organization that would be interested in the Nutri Guardian materials and we are currently in conversation with them.

"Besides that, Nutri Ventures closed a deal with a licensing agent in the USA that will start looking for deals with the healthy food industry.

"The Nutri ventures animation series continuous to be distributed to households in America with very good audience results.”
