iConquer, co-founded by 15 year old Zoya Surani, helps children learn about healthy choices, diabetes, and obesity. Working with kids ages 3 to 7 years of age, Zoya has helped educate over 7,000 kids in the last two years.

iConquer is a curriculum for children that revolves around the idea of creating lasting healthy habits to help children combat obesity. The curriculum includes a fun and creative music video, animated videos, iClicker technology, dance routines, and even puppet shows! The education doesn’t stop there, the curriculum also provides students with kid-sized portion plates.

Corpus Christi, where Zoya works with most students, is considered the 2nd obese city in America by Men’s Health. Educating Latino youth early about healthier lifestyles, and diets may help combat the obesity rates.

Encouraging students to live a healthier lifestyle, Zoya explains in the article, is her main motivation.
