Geng Sihat

Under NKF’s outreach programme, we work with different organisations to reach out to many different groups in the community to raise awareness of the importance of kidney health. These include school children, members of religious organisations and corporate employees. As part of our outreach initiatives, we are collaborating with Geng Sihat (GSSG), a movement started by the community to empower the Malay community to take control of their health.

For just $10, members of the Malay community are entitled to participate in GSSG’s healthy programmes such as a Supermarket Tour, Exercise & Cooking Classes as well as Health Screenings. A membership drive conducted throughout the month of Ramadan at the Geylang Serai bazaar saw an increase in membership sign-ups and the money collected was donated to Tabung Amal Aidilfitri (TAA).

Supermarket Tour

Jointly launched by NKF & GSSG, the Supermarket Tour enables participants to be healthy shoppers by learning how to read food labels, understanding the information on nutritional claims and making healthier choices by comparing between different products. The tour is conducted by NKF’s very own dieticians on a monthly basis in Malay and will be held at various hypermarkets in Singapore. A typical tour lasts for 2 hours with a short nutritional briefing before the tour ends with a Q & A session.
