Nu Skin Enterprises

Nu Skin's mission with the Nourish the Children® initiative is to be a powerful force in saving children's lives. This is accomplished by combining company product donations with voluntary product donations from our global distributor force and their representatives.

Every donation will reach needy children through reputable relief agencies who frequently report on the progress and health of the children nourished. The primary product donated is VitaMeal®, a nutrient-dense food ideally suited to meet the nutritional requirements of malnourished children.

Nu Skin Enterprises was awarded the 2007 American Business Award (better known as the Stevies) at the annual American Business Awards ceremony in New York City. The award was given in recognition of the Nourish the Children initiative for the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program among contenders with more than 2,500 employees. Other finalists in the category included Shell Oil, Avis Budget Group, Adobe Systems, and fellow Stevie winner AAA of Northern California, Nevada and Utah.

Nu Skin was also recognized as a finalist for the best Corporate Social Responsibility Program in America. The finalist nomination was given in recognition of Nu Skin's Build a Village Project, an effort that stems from the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation. The project is focused on helping the people of Malawi, Africa -- a country where a majority of the people are farmers who live on less than one dollar a day. Nearly 50 farmers and their families moved in to the village in September of last year and will live there for approximately two years, learning skills in farming, irrigation, forest conservation and more. They will then return to their villages to teach the new skills they have learned to others.

Nourish the Children

The mission of the Nourish the Children initiative is to be a powerful force in saving children's lives. Internationally recognized as an innovative approach to supporting those in need, Nourish the Children makes it simple to purchase and donate highly nutritious VitaMeal to charity partners like Feed the Children who distribute the food to the world's needy children.

More than 150 million meals have been donated through the Nourish the Children initiative since its inception in 2002. An average of 2.5 million meals are donated each month on an ongoing basis.

The Nourish the Children Advisory Board is Chaired by Lee Iacocca, former chairman of Chrysler Corporation and former President of the Ford Motor Company.

Nu Skin Force For Good Foundation

Nu Skin's spirit of long-term social responsibility led to the creation of the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation; a non-profit organization whose mission is to create a better world for children by improving human life, continuing cultures, and protecting fragile environments.

The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation was established in 1996 under the direction of the board of directors of Nu Skin Enterprises. Nu Skin and its divisions (Nu Skin, Pharmanex and Big Planet) were built on the hard work, commitment and passion of its distributors and representatives. These people are also the lifeblood of the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation.

Nu Skin provides for all overhead and administrative costs of the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, ensuring that all donations go directly to those receiving aid. The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation is based in Provo, Utah and is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States.

The Nu Skin Force For Good Foundation have been involved in other projects in Fiji. You can view some of these projects by visiting their website. To locate projects in Fiji, select "All Projects" in the Projects menu.

Fiji Ministry of Health

Although Nourish the Children partners with many organizations around the world, with their primary global partner being Feed The Children, the Fiji Ministry of Health was chosen as their distribution partner for VitaMeal in Fiji. This partnership enables Nourish the Children to distribute its VitaMeal product to thousands of children in distant corners of Fiji without charge. That's a win-win situation for both organizations...but the real winners are the hungry children we serve.

The Tappoo Group of Companies

Tappoo is a widely recognised and much trusted name with the consumers of Fiji. It has conducted business with integrity for sixty-four years. The family name and logo resonates the reputation of the Group.

The Tappoo Group of Companies have come onboard this project as our shipping partner. They sponsor the regular shipments of VitaMeal from Nu Skin in Auckland, New Zealand to Suva, Fiji.
