Jenny PerezExecutive Director, Herbalife Nutrition Foundation
Did you know that there are more than 820 million undernourished people worldwide? It’s a staggering number, which is why we must all do our part and give what we can to support those in need.
The Herbalife Nutrition Foundation is committed to improving the lives of children and communities around the world. Every year, we fund grants to charitable organizations that give vulnerable communities the nutrition they need. We believe everyone should have equal access to good nutrition and education.
All our 167 Casa Herbalife Nutrition partners – from California and throughout America to Peru, and from Italy to Cambodia – need our support more than ever to help provide vulnerable children and families with good nutrition.
How We Support Children and Communities
Good nutrition is about more than just having enough food to eat – our Casa Herbalife Nutrition programs provide children and communities with the nourishment, care, and education they need to thrive today and spread their wings tomorrow. That’s why we provide millions of dollars in funding each year to orphanages, hospitals, schools, and organizations globally.
In 2021, the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation (HNF) gave total grants of $4.7 million to 167 non-profit organizations in 59 countries. This empowered our partners to provide more than 9 million meals to over 216,000 people.
The Work of Our Partners: Inspiring Stories of Hope
Every day, I am inspired by stories of resiliency, triumph, and hope, thanks to the programs offered by our Casa partners.
In Australia, our Casa Herbalife Nutrition partner, Sunshine Butterflies, is a disability support service dedicated to reducing the stigma of disability. Since 2017, HNF has partnered with Sunshine Butterflies to provide a space for families and individuals with disabilities to learn cooking skills and experience nutritious meals.
In Ecuador, FundaciĂłn Sinsoluka serves as a safe place supporting children who have endured malnutrition, homelessness, and abandonment. Since 2010, HNF has provided more than $430,000 in grants and helped nearly 3,000 children increase the quality of their nutrition, development, and growth at the FundaciĂłn Sinsoluka.
In Cambodia, a story that come to mind is that of two-year-old Sorphoan, who was born with a cleft palate and suffered from acute malnutrition because she had to rely on a feeding tube to eat. The Angkor Hospital for Children, a Casa Herbalife Nutrition partner, was able to provide Sorphoan with a customized feeding formula that significantly improved her condition.
She gained enough strength and weight to have cleft palate surgery eventually. During Sorphoan’s hospitalization, her father also learned how to prepare nutritious meals for his infant through a program funded by HNF.
Stories like these keep me optimistic about the future of children’s health and nutrition. We continue to work every day to ensure children and communities around the world receive access to the meals, nutrition, and care they need to transform their lives.
How You Can Help
Without adequate funding, our partners will not be able to sustain some of their most important projects, like bringing clean water to villages or giving children and families access to food.
You can help these organizations by donating to HNF today. Your donations will help provide children and vulnerable communities with the healthy nutrition they need for a brighter future.
