Herbalife Family Foundation Establishes Casa Herbalife Program In Italy

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) has established a Casa Herbalife program to bring good nutrition to children at the SOS Children’s Village in Rome, Italy, which provides temporary shelter to minors suffering from personal, family or social distress.

The Rome Village was established in 1986 and today consists of eight family homes. The HFF grant will go towards the organization’s annual food budget, to help provide nutritious meals for the children.

SOS Children’s Villages is dedicated to providing homes to abandoned children and providing them with the same social opportunities and sense of family offered to children with a stable family background. There are currently over 400 SOS Children’s Villages in 132 countries, supporting approximately 60,000 children and teenagers.

This is the 18^th Casa Herbalife program established worldwide, and the fifth in Herbalife’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. HFF established a Casa Herbalife program at the SOS Children’s Village in Athens, Greece in July 2006.

Fabrizio Suaria, Herbalife’s managing director, Italy, presented the grant, joined by Herbalife independent distributors and SOS Children’s Village supporter and Italian TV journalist Maria Concetta Mattei.

The Herbalife Family Foundation is a private, non-profit organization supported by Herbalife Ltd., its independent distributors, employees, friends and families. Created in 1994 by Herbalife founder Mark Hughes, the Herbalife Family Foundation’s mission is helping children in need by offering support in overcoming life’s most basic challenges, from escaping poverty, hunger and abuse to receiving adequate medical care and education. In addition to developing Casa Herbalife programs worldwide, HFF often responds to natural disasters by establishing special funds, as it did for victims of the tsunamis, earthquake and hurricanes that struck in 2004 and 2005.
