EVERY SIX SECONDS A CHILD DIES FROM MALNUTRITION
The Nourish the Children initiative is Nu Skin’s solution to provide a consistent and growing supply of nourishing food to the world’s most needy children. This simple concept succeeds by selling a highly nutritious food — VitaMeal — and then helping people donate their purchases to third-party nonprofit organizations that specialize in distributing food to those suffering from malnutrition and famine.
The primary charity partner for Nourish the Children is FEED THE CHILDREN, one of the largest international charities in the United States, which specializes in distributing millions of pounds of food each year to families in more than 60 countries. The charity partner distributes the donated VitaMeal at NO ADDITIONAL COSTS and provides regular reports documenting the receipt of food by those in need.
By DONATING PRODUCT RATHER THAN CASH, donors know exactly how their contribution is being used and can be assured that their donation is making a difference in the lives of children. In some countries, donors receive a receipt for tax purposes from the charity partner for their in-kind donation of VitaMeal.*

Maximizing Your Impact
VitaMeal sangat penting dalam mempengaruhi kehidupan anak-anak, sumbangan melampaui hanya makan untuk mempengaruhi kehidupan banyak orang lain. Sumbangan makan menciptakan peluang untuk meningkatkan kehidupan melalui pendidikan, pekerjaan, dan mengajarkan hidup kecukupan.
Drawing Children to School
VitaMeal donations are generally distributed through school programs because parents living in poverty will often send their children to school for a free meal, rather than keep them home to work. This is especially true of girls: the World Bank has recognized that “there is no investment more effective for achieving development goals than educating girls.”
Ensuring a Consistent Flow of Donations
As a social business initiative, Nourish the Children facilitates consistent and increasing food donations by offering an incentive to buy, donate, and promote VitaMeal. This commission is included in the price of the food and allows distributors to invest their time and resources to encourage others to join the cause against malnutrition. Your VitaMeal donation is increased with a corporate match program from Nu Skin.
Building Economic Opportunity
VitaMeal plants in Malawi and China reduce transportation costs and boost local economies.
Contributing to Self-Sufficiency
Some of the proceeds from VitaMeal purchases are donated to the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation to fund agricultural education at Mtalimanja Village (link to Village page of the FFG section) in Malawi. Increased farm production could someday alleviate the need for food assistance in Malawi.
