SDG 3

Examples of UN SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being in Action
This page provides stories and examples of our commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. It focuses on reducing maternal and child mortality, combating diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, ensuring access to essential healthcare services, and promoting mental health and well-being. Achieving this goal requires improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing access to medicines, and addressing health inequities across populations. By focusing on prevention, treatment, and equitable healthcare access, SDG 3 seeks to ensure that people can lead healthy lives and thrive in their communities. View more examples of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) here.

What if your greatest strength felt like your biggest secret? Published by Art Borups Corners and The Arts Incubator Winnipeg, Lena's Strong Game introduces Lena, a soccer star with powerful legs that propel her across the field. But despite her talent, Lena feels deeply self-conscious about her strong body, hiding her legs and holding back her true potential. She longs for thin legs like the other girls, letting shyness dim her otherwise bright game.

Published by the Arts Incubator Winnipeg, Alex's True Goal invites readers into the world of a young soccer star grappling with a big decision. Alex is the fastest player on the Green Dragons, the team's shining hope for the championship. The cheers are deafening, his dad is proud, and everyone in town expects him to win. But beneath the roar of the crowd, Alex feels a quiet unease, a heavy weight that even scoring goals can't lift. His real joy lies in the quiet corners of the Sunny Paws Animal Shelter, a secret world of soft purrs and gentle yips where he finds peace and purpose. As the championship approaches, Alex faces an impossible choice: uphold everyone's expectations, or follow the quiet call of his own heart? Can he find the courage to define happiness on his own terms and prove that true victory isn't always found on the field?

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
