• A cooking institute will be integrated to demonstrate and facilitate the implementation of healthy nutrition behavior.
• A faith-driven and scientific conceptual framework will be utilized.
• A Gemba Board and Huddle will be implemented as a communication hub to help disseminate this community-oriented intervention.
