The main social issue addressed by the project is the cognitive development of learners, particularly in school readiness, executive function at the preschool level, and higher-order executive functions. These aspects of cognitive development are foundational for the development of literacy and numeracy skills in school-age children. 

The HealthNutz programme is currently implemented in schools and crèches in the Western Cape. The programme consists of HealthNutz Prep (ages 4-5 years) and HealthNutz Junior (ages 6-9 years), introducing participants to fun, non-competitive physical activity twice a week. The children learn gross and fine motor skills that are crucial at this age.
