LOS ANGELES, March 5, 2009 -- The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) established its first Casa Herbalife program in China through a partnership with SOS Children’s Village in Chengdu, in the Sichuan province.

More than 170 children currently live in this SOS Children’s Village, many of whom were orphaned in the 2008 earthquake. Founded in 1997, the village is focused on providing a safe living environment and proper education for the children.

The HFF grant will go towards the organization's annual food budget, to help provide nutritious meal choices for the children, and will provide funds for improving and updating health promoting facilities.

This is the 39th Casa Herbalife program to be established worldwide. After an initial grant from HFF, local Herbalife sales employees in China and staff will support the program through volunteerism and fundraising.

HFF is a 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation dedicated to improving children’s lives by helping organizations provide healthy nutrition to children at risk. Additionally, HFF often supports relief efforts in response to natural disasters.
