Herbalife Family Foundation Expands Casa Herbalife Programs in Mexico

The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) announced the opening of two additional Casa Herbalife programs in Mexico, in Tijuana, Baja California and Celaya, Guanajuato.

Founded in 2003 and based in Tijuana, in the state of Baja California, Fundación Castro-Limón, A. C. was established to provide comprehensive services and treatment to low income children diagnosed with cancer. The organization is committed to offering these children and their families a "hope for life” through a variety of psychological and spiritual resources. The HFF grant will support a program that will help bring better nutrition to these children. The organization currently services 60 children and has served over 500 children to date.

The second program recently funded by HFF is Centro Nutricional Celaya in the state of Guanajuato, which began as a Rotary Club project in 1990. The center’s mission is to improve the nutritional needs and eating conditions of impoverished children by preventing physical deficiencies and supporting healthy development through good nutrition. The HFF grant will support the organization’s ongoing efforts in the areas of malnutrition prevention and diagnosis, and nutrition rehabilitation, as well as the "Growing Healthy” program.

Following the initial grant, local Herbalife independent distributors and employees will continue supporting the program through volunteerism and fundraising. In addition to these two new programs, HFF continues supporting its previously-funded Casa Herbalife programs at Jalisco at Albergue Infantil Los Pinos in Guadalajara, and Ministerios de Amor in Mexico City, and an additional four satellite locations across the country. To date, there are 50 Casa Herbalife programs around the world.
