Lead Agency: National Tongan American Society

Under a two-year project, a group based in Salt Lake City, Utah, is working to strengthen the lead agency's organizational capacity through board development, increased networking, staff training, and working toward financial sustainability. Programmatically, its primary concern is to develop and implement a program to reduce obesity and diabetes among Pacific Islanders. This includes efforts to increase awareness of the health toll of excess body weight and increase opportunities for physical exercise.
