Herbalife Nutrition (NYSE: HLF), a premier global nutrition
company, along with the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation (HNF), today
announced that it has a new nonprofit partner, The Hunger Project,
under its Nutrition for Zero Hunger (NFZH) initiative. The
Foundation has made an initial donation of $30,000 to fund the
organization’s women-centered, community-led development and
educational programs. Together they will invest in rural
communities around the world affected by food insecurity and
malnutrition.
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO), more than 821.6 million people are chronically
undernourished, and 99% of them live in low- and middle-income
countries. The Hunger Project’s mission is to end world hunger by
pioneering sustainable, grassroots, women-centered strategies and
advocating for their adoption worldwide.
“The Nutrition for Zero Hunger global initiative is our way to
help eradicate hunger and give people the nutrition they need,”
said Alan Hoffman, executive vice president, Global Corporate
Affairs, Herbalife Nutrition. “We are proud to stand with The
Hunger Project and support their global efforts.”
Through this partnership, under the Nutrition for Zero Hunger
initiative, Herbalife Nutrition and HNF will support The Hunger
Project in its work to address the issue of global hunger, food
insecurity and malnutrition by:
- Focusing on what matters: By investing in women and
girls, mobilizing rural communities, and fostering effective
partnerships with local government, The Hunger Project’s
methodology catalyzes a development process through which
communities achieve concrete results in food security and nutrition
outcomes.
- Improving nutrition education: Empowering communities to
gain access to nutrition information regarding different,
healthier, locally sustainable food choices.
- Raising awareness of the global crisis: Increasing
awareness of The Hunger Project’s mission by disseminating
information about this new partnership to the extensive global
network of Herbalife Nutrition independent distributors and more
than 8,000 employees worldwide, to reach as many people and
communities as possible.
“It is deeply meaningful to work with partners who value
addressing the root causes of hunger with sustainable, long-term
solutions,” said Jenna Recuber, Global Vice President of The Hunger
Project. “We are grateful that Herbalife Nutrition is investing in
people to be the authors and leaders of their own development
process, so that they themselves may transform critical issues in
their communities."
In addition to supporting strategic partnerships, Nutrition for
Zero Hunger aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development
Goal #2, which calls for bold action to end hunger in all its forms
by 2030, as well as solutions to achieve food security and improve
nutrition worldwide.
As a leader in global nutrition, Herbalife Nutrition was
founded, nearly 40 years ago, on the importance and value of good
nutrition, providing a reliable source of nutritious food through a
network of independent distributors and customers worldwide.
