Description of Our Community: Kepong is a town in northern Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The name is a Malay word meaning "Enclose" or "Surround", as the town is surrounded by a mountain range.

Project Description: Malaysia has the highest prevalence of obesity among adults in South East Asia. In the 2019 National Health and Morbidity Survey, 50.1% of our adult population were reported to be overweight (30.4%) or obese (19.7%). According to a United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) survey, 12.7 percent of Malaysian children aged five to 19 years old are obese, the second-highest in Southeast Asia behind Brunei. Most alarming is that 7.1 percent of overweight Malaysian children are under the age of five. Therefore, the project is mainly to give awareness to students to maintain healthy lifestyle.
