No child should ever go hungry. That’s the belief behind Nu Skin’s Nourish the Children initiative. With VitaMeal, we provide malnourished children with highly nutritious food developed by our very own nutrition scientists.
Each bag of VitaMeal is sold by Nu Skin, then donated to third-party non-profit organisations that specialise in distributing food to children suffering from malnutrition and famine. Nourish the Children is not a charity, but a for-profit initiative. By incentivising the purchase of VitaMeal, we believe that this campaign can be sustained and ultimately do more good in the world.
VitaMeal is a nutrient-rich, non-dairy, vegetarian meal formulated specifically to feed malnourished children. Its core ingredients are also carefully selected to match the staple diet in each region, helping to fit the unique tastes and cultures of different countries. Each bag contains 30 child-sized meals, helping to provide a child with a healthy meal each day for an entire month.
VitaMeal does more than nourish a body. It also helps nourish a mind. Because it is generally distributed through school programmes, this initiative encourages parents to send their children to school, helping them achieve an education. Our contracted manufacturing plant in Malawi also provides jobs and economic development opportunities, while some proceeds from VitaMeal purchases are donated to the Good Foundation to fund agricultural education at Mtalimanja Village in Malawi. Here, farmers learn techniques to improve self-sufficiency and farm production, which may someday alleviate the need for food assistance in Malawi.
The initiative already feeds more than 120,000 children per day, more than 700 million meals have been donated globally since its launch, and it’s active in more than 50 countries.
“My individual goal is to feed at least 200 malnourished kids each month in South Africa,” said the conscientious Liesle Timol. “How it works is that you can either purchase the Vitameal on a monthly account and earn points that will accumulate and allow you to buy any of our amazing products. Or for those who wouldn’t want to arrange a debit, they may approach me for other options.”
Each bag feeds 1 child for 30 days and they are affordable:
- 1 bag = R256
- 2 bags = R428
- 5 Bags = R1039
