The NextGen CELEBRATIONS! Mongolia (NCD) Project is a dynamic three-year initiative serving as a country-specific pilot for ADRA International’s global approach to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). CELEBRATIONS, an acronym representing 12 healthful living principles, will focus on six components for adolescents (12–15 year olds): C-Choice, E-Exercise, L-Liquid, E-Environment, B-Belief, R-Rest, A-Air, T-Temperance, I-Integrity, O-Optimism, N-Nutrition, and S-Social Support. Using CETONS, our mission is to empower Mongolian adolescents, aged 12-15, with knowledge and tools for healthy living, preventing NCDs in their communities.
