There can be no greater cause than to save the life of a child and ensure the child's future in our global society. We all have a responsibility to get involved and make a difference.

Global Problem, Unique Solution

The Nourish the Children initiative is Nu Skin’s solution to provide a consistent and growing supply of nourishing food to the world’s most needy children. This simple concept succeeds by selling a highly nutritious food VitaMeal and then helping people donate their purchases to third-party nonprofit organizations that specialize in distributing food to those suffering from malnutrition and famine.

By DONATING PRODUCT RATHER THAN CASH, donors know exactly how their contribution is being used and can be assured that their donation is making a difference in the lives of children.

Though many of us know there are starving and malnourished children in the world crying out for help, not all of us take action to help. It is understandable that many people become confused by the wide array of commercial charities and causes out there, and sometimes don't know how to most effectively direct their contribution. It is certainly more fulfilling to give back when we know exactly where our contribution is going and how we are making a difference.

  • We have setup a regular feeding program for children in Fiji. VitaMeal is a nutrient-dense food that has been carefully formulated to provide all essential daily nutrients to nourish (not just feed) children.
  • You can help make this initiative a huge success in Fiji by donating VitaMeal. Nourish the Children does not accept monetary or cash donations. Only VitaMeal can be donated and none of the food donation goes toward the charity’s administration, advertising, or distribution costs.
  • Around 120,000 citizens have emigrated from Fiji since 1987. Most of them reside in Australia (33%), USA (24%), Canada (23%), and New Zealand (16%). Around 4% reside in other countries. We would like to invite you to participate in this initiative and make a difference in the lives of children in Fiji.
  • We would also like to extend our invitation all other people viewing this website to participate in this initiative to help us reach our goal of feeding 35,000 children in Fiji every day.
  • Together, we are a Force For Good in saving children's lives in Fiji.

Here are two ways in which you can help:

  • Donate VitaMeal for this project. We have a long way to go before we get to our goal of feeding 35,000 children in Fiji every day. You have the option of making a one-off donation or making regular monthly donations of 1 bag, 2 bags, or 5 bags of VitaMeal through Nu Skin's Automatic Delivery Program (ADR). To participate in this initiative, contact us using the form in the Participate section of this website.
  • Spread the word about this initiative to everyone you know. A word-of-mouth referral from a friend or family member is the best form of advertising. We can create a ripple effect to reach our goal if everyone of you got at least 3 other friends participating in this initiative and encouraged them to do the same.

With Nourish the Children, we bring an honest and clear global message. By simply participating in this initiative and introducing it to others, we have a chance to change the destiny of thousands of children throughout Fiji. The rewards are priceless. We should all be giving back, so share with others this mission that is truly changing the lives of children.

Results That Make a Difference

Following the Nourish the Children launch in the USA in 2002, it took only five months to reach the first million meals donated and only three more months to reach the second million. The 100 million meals milestone was achieved in November 2007 and by March 2009, 150 million meals had been donated to malnourished children around the world. Donations are increasing as additional countries, such as Fiji, launch the Nourish the Children Initiative. Nu Skin's goal is to reach the 200 million meals milestone in 2010.

Nourish the Children is particularly excited to be working with school feeding programs. These programs do more than feed and nourish children; they draw children to school for a free meal where they are educated. These educated children will be better prepared to eventually care for themselves, their families, and their nations. Through the Nourish the Children initiative, we are making a difference!
