LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Abandoned children now living at the Sang Rok Won home in Seoul, Korea will be receiving healthier meals because of a grant from the Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) to establish a Casa Herbalife program at the facility, helping to bring good nutrition to children.
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.
William Rahn, senior vice president of Herbalife's North Asia region, Young Hee Chung, general manager of Herbalife Korea, and Herbalife independent distributor Taeho Kim visited the children at the organization and presented the grant to Chungha Bu, general manager of Sang Rok Won.
The Herbalife Family Foundation is a private, non-profit organization supported by Herbalife Ltd., its independent distributors, employees, friends and families. Created in 1994 by Herbalife Founder Mark Hughes, its mission is to help children in need by offering support in overcoming life's most basic challenges, from escaping poverty, hunger and abuse to receiving adequate medical care and education. In addition to developing Casa Herbalife programs worldwide, HFF often responds to natural disasters by establishing special funds, as it did for victims of the tsunamis, earthquake and hurricanes that struck in 2004 and 2005.
