A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION TO A GLOBAL PROBLEM

VITAMEAL: A LIFESAVING MEAL

Malnourished children are missing key nutrients in their diets, which can hinder brain, bone and immune system development. Most humanitarian food consists of mainly grain, such as corn, which may lack other essential nutrients necessary for healthy development. As part of the overall development of VitaMeal, Nu Skin’s nutritional scientists determined the ingredients and ratios that are well-suited for a malnourished child. The result is VitaMeal, a nutrient-dense food fortified with essential vitamins and minerals.

HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER.

Four-year-old Besita from Mthirakuwiri, Malawi, is a living miracle. Besita was born underweight, weighing under 4 pounds. Her parents abandoned her shortly after her birth, leaving only her grandmother, Desilia, to care for her. With Besita extremely malnourished, Desilia was concerned, scared, frustrated and alone. Over the years, Desilia did her best to provide for Besita, including enrolling her in school. Because of Besita’s extremely poor nutritional status, the school asked her grandmother if they could enroll her in a school feeding program. After receiving VitaMeal through this feeding program for a year, Besita improved tremendously, and now, she is a strong girl who likes to sing and play skipping games. “VitaMeal has saved my granddaughter,” said Desillia. “Besita can now receive her lessons at school and play with her friends, and this was not the case two years ago.”

VITAMEAL: MORE THAN JUST A MEAL

The Nourish the Children initiative partners with third-party, nonprofit organizations that specialize in delivering relief where it is most needed. In addition to distributing VitaMeal, these partners leverage the positive effect of VitaMeal to create an even greater impact. For example, in many countries, VitaMeal is part of school lunch programs that encourage families to send their children to school and gain an education. VitaMeal is used in many ways to help malnourished children and has become more than just a meal; it brings hope to many young lives around the world.
