Welcome To Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI)

A research initiative to develop and test interventions to prevent obesity in children and promote child development

There are four separate but harmonized projects in Soweto, South Africa, Mysore, India, Shanghai, China, and virtually across Canada. All projects are focused on developing evidence-based interventions that span from pre-conception across pregnancy and into the postnatal period with a goal of improving maternal, infant and child health.
