Pillay R Group markets healthy Pascual yoghurt |24 February 2014

In its effort to promote healthy living in Seychelles, Pillay R Group – a corporate citizen – has been aggressively working to promote healthy eating in schools.

Towards this it has always supported the efforts of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education toward building a healthier children and society. It works on the vision that if our children consume healthy products our society will become healthier.

This is the reason Pillay R Group has been making a series of efforts whereby it has been offering free healthy products to children to consume. Its main concern has been that unless children taste the products, they can never be convinced to consume healthy products.

Accordingly, one of the important products it has been offering free to children has been the international brand Pascual – available in 70 countries – which was launched in Seychelles during March 2013 and since then it has been becoming very popular with children and parents.

Pillay R Group’s vision is that one’s health will be good as long as one consumes Pascual yoghurt along with living a healthy lifestyle.

The company offered free yoghurts to nearly 1,300 athletes during the 2012 annual Inter-schools Athletics Championships. All children enjoyed the products and since then they are always excited to consume Pascual yoghurt.

During 2013, Pillay R Group organised nearly 10 Pascual tasting and promotional events on Mahé and Praslin to encourage and educate customers about consuming Pascual yoghurt and learn about its benefits to one’s health.

Health Minister Mitcy Larue has been a great supporter of such events and she even bought some Pascual yoghurt at the Ramajayam Praslin to ensure everyone in the family is healthy.

In December 2013, Jayanthi Pillay, the wife of Ramu Pillay – chairman and chief executive of Pillay R Group of companies -- along with daughter Snega, offered Pascual yoghurt to younger kids so that they can start developing the habit of consuming it a young age.

Pascual yoghurt from Spain offers wide range of healthy options to children and family including:

1. Pascual Yogikid – strawberry flavour – which are enriched with Vitamins A, D, E and B9, and children love them.

2. Pascual Non-Fat Strawberry flavour – Children are able to enjoy all the delightful flavours with a 0% fat. They look after their health and their figure!

3. Bi Frutas – Bi Frutas is a complement for your diet to make you feel completely fine through its unique texture and its delicious mixture of fruits
