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.

"I finally have my life back!"

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:

"I still can't believe how much these products have improved my life!"

"I started seeing 'saddle bags' on my thighs," Kim Frahm recalls. "My size-14 clothes were getting tight. Even my dad was calling me his 'fluffy daughter.'" So Kim decided to take action. "When I saw my dad totally change his body using the Herbalife® weight management products," she says, "I agreed to give the program a try."

"I'm still pinching myself about how much weight I've lost!"

"After my first shake," Kim says, "I was surprised at how full and satisfied I felt. And after my third day on the program, I actually had the energy–finally–to play with my boys!" Soon Kim's clothes began to fit less snugly, and she went on to go from a size 14+ to a size 4-6. "No more cravings, no more exhaustion–and no more saddle bags!" Kim exclaims. "I still can't believe how much these products have improved my life!"*

Here's How:

  • Have a specific goal in mind. For me, it was losing 25 pounds.
  • Get out there and test your energy; you'll feel it increasing almost right away.
  • Favorites: These delicious Formula 1 shakes! They're as tasty as the junk food I used to crave.

"When the Hula Hoop got stuck around my middle, that was it!"

"When I see heavy people now, I feel for them. They just need to try this."

For Scott, the change came about when a friend put a Hula Hoop around him and he couldn't get it off. Scott knew that he had to lose a significant amount of weight.

"I lost more than half my weight."

Prior to discovering Herbalife products, Scott could not walk a block or bend over to tie his shoes because the pressure of his weight would become unbearable. Many suggested he undergo surgery to reduce his size, but Scott was reluctant to go to such extreme measures. Instead, he turned to Herbalife products.

"When I see heavy people now, I feel for them. They just need to try this."

Having tried every "potion and powder," Scott believed that Herbalife's nutritional weight-loss program would bring the change he was looking for. And indeed it was. Scott's old cravings have subsided and he craves healthier foods. Scott also improved his exercise routine and is now very active–and very happy.*

Here's How:

  • Drink the shakes.
  • Eat six times a day to keep your metabolism up.
  • Drink as much water as you can.
  • Try taking weight-loss enhancers for faster results.
