Health and Nutrition Association of Trinidad & Tobago (HNATT) is the country’s first nutrition-focused non-governmental organisation, founded on 9th November 2024. We believe that optimal health starts with knowledge — the right information, the right choices, and the right support. Our vision is a Trinidad & Tobago where every individual has the resources, understanding, and opportunities to live well, free from preventable illnesses.

Our mission is to empower individuals and communities through evidence-based health education, accessible wellness programmes, and advocacy for nutrition-friendly policies. We engage health professionals, educators, government stakeholders, and citizens to work together towards healthier habits: knowing your health metrics, being mindful of chronic disease risk, and embracing balanced diets and active living.

Our work includes health fairs, public outreach, workshops, and ongoing resources to help people understand not just what to eat, but why it matters — for physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We are committed to high ethical standards in all we do, including a strict policy around conflicts of interest and avoiding associations with entities whose products harm public health.

Located in Freeport, Trinidad, our team of registered dietitians, health educators, and wellness advocates are dedicated to creating an environment where choosing good health is both viable and valued. By spreading accurate information, promoting preventive action, and supporting lifestyle changes, HNATT aims to reduce the burden of chronic disease, food-related misinformation, and poor nutrition in our communities.
