Herbalife Family Foundation: Tsunami Disaster Relief
In response to the December 2004 Tsunami in Southeast Asia and Africa, Herbalife championed fundraising in support of Tsunami disaster relief efforts. The Herbalife Family Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to assist children in need, set up a special fund to accept donations, which were donated to Save the Children and SOS Children's Villages. These are two international organizations that focus on the needs of children and which were already well established in the affected regions.
The fundraising benefits for the two organisations were:
- SOS Children's Villages. SOS has been the Herbalife Family Foundation focus in India for six years. SOS staff in Nagapattinum, India, a severely affected area, worked in tent accommodation providing first-aid and moving in additional resources to help children, many of whom had become orphaned in the Tsunami.
- Save the Children. This organization, which works to meet the emergency and long term needs of some of the region’s poorest children and families, had teams in place in many of the hardest hit areas, including Aceh Province in Indonesia. The organisation's teams were able to deliver fuel, supplies, temporary shelter, materials and food, especially for under five children. Herbalife's partnership with Save the Children dates back to the year 1999 and the first Herbalife Family Foundation donation to assist in Kosovo.

For Julie A., the third try was the charm. Throughout her 30s and early 40s, she had twice been told about the nutritional and weight-loss benefits of Herbalife products, but she was reluctant to give them a try. "I was pretty negative," she says. "Even though I had no energy and felt terrible, I didn't think anything would help." Although a skeptic about weight loss, Julie's competitive streak came out when she was asked to join a weight-loss challenge. She joined, lost 25 pounds, and won the contest—all with the help of Herbalife "I realized what my body had been missing!"Long plagued by muscle and joint pain, Julie noticed that her weight loss coincided with renewed energy. Her lower weight reduced stress on her joints. "Before, my diet had been almost all carbs," she says. "I had no nutrition going into my body, which meant I was both overweight and malnourished." With 41 pounds lost, Julie continues to drink a shake every day and sees especially amazing results from Active Fiber. No longer a skeptic, she talks to people about Herbalife whenever she can. "Before I was functioning at around 25 percent of my capacity," she says. "Now it feels like 100 percent."* "I finally have my life back!"Here's How:
