A Healthier Path Forward represents a significant stride towards addressing childhood obesity and its systemic roots in the West End community. By fostering innovation, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, this program aims to create lasting change and equitable health outcomes for future generations in Louisville.

Project Kilimo is a new urban farming initiative, launched through a USDA-funded partnership with the National Urban League. In collaboration with Sankofa Community Farm in Philadelphia, Project Kilimo supports Black urban farmers in Louisville’s West End by providing land access, cultural education, and resources to grow healthy, chemical-free food. This pilot program not only builds food sovereignty and economic opportunity—it reconnects communities to the land, to each other, and to a healthier future.

LUL recognizes there are many services, initiatives, and organizations doing good work, but they are not reaching many of the people who need them. “It starts with me!” is the missing connector; making it easier for individuals and their families to access the services they need to live healthier, happier, lifestyles.
