LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) has established a Casa Herbalife program in Taloe, a rural city in the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia, to help an orphanage renovate its kitchen and serve healthier meals to the 20 children in its care.

Taloe Orphanage was established in 2002 to provide children in the rural area with safety, security, educational services and the opportunity for social rehabilitation. Since it opened, more than 100 children have been adopted.

This is the 20th Casa Herbalife program to open in Herbalife's EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region and the 53rd program worldwide. After an initial grant from HFF, local Herbalife independent distributors and employees will support the program through volunteerism and fundraising. In 2009, HFF helped feed more than 14,000 children around the world through its global family of Casa Herbalife programs.

HFF is a 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation dedicated to improving children's lives by helping organizations provide healthy nutrition to children at risk. Additionally, HFF often supports relief efforts in response to natural disasters.
