Herbalife Family Foundation Continues Supporting Good Nutrition for Children in Mexico

2014-04-08 12:00 ET - News Release


LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)

The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), a non-profit organization committed to improving the nutritional habits of vulnerable children, today announced the opening of its 24th Casa Herbalife Program in Mexico.

The new program will support Escuela Hogar Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos, A.C. (Escuela Hogar), a non-profit organization in Morelos, Mexico that provides permanent homes to orphaned or abandoned children living in extreme poverty. The organization offers a safe environment where children are taught basic education and nutrition skills.

Through an initial donation, Escuela Hogar will grow their healthy eating options and increase the overall quality of nutritional products available to the children in their care. In addition to the financial donation, HFF will provide access to a regular supply of food products containing protein, vitamins, and minerals—nutrients children need.

HFF, through its flagship nutrition program Casa Herbalife, awards grants to non-profit organizations that provide supportive, social services and nutrition education to underprivileged children around the world. HFF also offers funding for kitchen modification and reconstruction and other similar methods that ensure children have daily access to good nutrition.

The Casa Herbalife Program was established in 2005 to help bring good nutrition to children living in orphanages and attending after school centers and other non-profit facilities. After the initial financial grants made by HFF, the recipient organizations receive local financial and volunteer support from Herbalife independent distributors, as well as corporate employees.
