Upon learning Meng Yao’s story, Nu Skin Greater China Children’s Heart Fund (GCCHF) helped with funding the infant’s lifesaving surgery. Today, the 7-month-old is all smiles – and so is her twin...

Nu Skin has been hard at work continuing our Force For Good mission to improve the lives of children by offering hope for a life free from disease, illiteracy, and poverty. Here are a few highlights from this quarter!
In February, Nu Skin stepped in with its Nourish the Children (NTC) initiative to make a positive difference in the lives of young Colombian students by sending VitaMeal purchased and donated by the Nu Skin family of customers and distributors to Columbia.* This is the first time the specially formulated meals have been distributed in that country.
Planting fruit trees can connect people to the growing process of fruit but in countries like Malawi it is more about preventing devastating famines that adversely impact the country’s most vulnerable population – children. The Seeds of Hope project has provided the people of Malawi the ability to create sustainable food production while promoting reforestation that preserves and improves their environment.
Seeds of Hope is funded by a grant from the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, which is funded in part from the sale of Nu Skin’s Epoch® product line.
In 2014, more than 30,000 fruit trees were purchased...

Nu Skin Taiwan has sponsored the Taiwan Foundation for Rare Disorders since 1999. Since 2005, Nu Skin Taiwan has sponsored a One-Day Volunteer Campaign...
