Established in 1959, Sang Rok Won currently cares for 81 children ranging in age from age two to 18 who are homeless or who cannot live with their families.
This is the 22nd Casa Herbalife program established by HFF. Ongoing support of Sang Rok Won and other Casa Herbalife programs is provided by Herbalife independent distributors and employees around the world.
