Oct. 8, 2009-- The Herbalife Family Foundation established a Casa Herbalife program at La Casita de María Childrens Foundation (FUCAM) in Medellin, Colombia, to help support the center to provide good nutrition to children.
Founded in 1996, FUCAM is a nonprofit institution providing protection and development to low income, displaced, and abandoned at-risk boys and girls. Currently, 30 children, ages 1 thru 17, live there, some of whom have grown up and been in the shelter for most of their lives.
This is the 10th Casa Herbalife program in South America, and the 46th worldwide. After an initial grant from HFF, local Herbalife independent distributors and employees will support the program through volunteerism and fundraising.
HFF is a 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation dedicated to improving childrens lives by helping organizations provide healthy nutrition to children at risk. Additionally, HFF often supports relief efforts in response to natural disasters.
