Fondation Olo takes action early on in children’s lives to give them an equal chance of being born and growing up healthy, despite the difficult life conditions they are born into. We take two types of action to counter the negative impacts on children’s health:
- We help pregnant women in need to eat well during pregnancy, to help ensure their baby is born healthy. In concert with professionals in the field, we provide personalized follow-up care and direct assistance by providing food vouchers for Olo foods as well as prenatal vitamins.
- We coach parents to promote healthy eating habits early on in their child’s life. We encourage families to adopt 3 behaviours: eating well (eating a variety of quality foods), cooking (using basic ingredients) and family mealtimes (in a way that creates a positive experience for the child).
In any given year, Fondation Olo helps 5,000 new pregnant women in need across Quebec. In the past 30 years, more than 250,000 babies have come into the world healthier and stronger thanks to Olo. Learn more about the Olo approach.
