Herbalife International Family Foundation
Now,
more than ever, Herbalife is helping to change people’s
lives by assisting the victims of the tsunami disaster. Through
the creation of the “Tsunami Relief Fund,” the Herbalife
Family Foundation (HFF) is providing essential aid for children
in need.
How We’ve Helped
Herbalife has donated $25,000 to the “Tsunami Relief Fund”
and will match donations from employees and Distributors--ten
cents to every dollar given to the HFF earmarked “Tsunami
Relief Fund.” Herbalife’s goal is to raise $1 million
for this special fund, which will benefit two well-established
international organizations in the region that focus on the needs
of children: Save the Children and SOS Children's Villages.
Save the Children has met the emergency and long-term
needs of some of the region's poorest children and families for
over 30 years. They have teams on the ground in many of the hardest
hit areas with their trucks already in hard-to-reach Aceh Province
in Indonesia delivering fuel, supplies, temporary shelter materials
and food, especially for children under five.
SOS Children's Villages has been our HFF focus
in India for six years. In India, one village in particular, Nagapattinam,
was hit very hard by the recent disaster. SOS staff is there now,
working in tents providing first aid and moving in more resources
to help the children, many of whom lost their parents in the tsunamis.
More to Give
Because needs will change as time progresses, we will be able
to lend financial support for other necessities as they are identified.
Together, we can make a difference and reach
our goal of raising $1 million. If you would like to help, you
can donate online at our secure Web site, http://www.herbalifefamily.org/
