- The Herbalife Family Foundation launched a Casa Herbalife program at the Asociacion La Buena Esperanza (ALABE) that will allow school administrators to serve healthier meals to impoverished children. The school is in Villa El Salvador, a desert city south of Lima.

In addition to serving meals, the HFF grant will help ALABE provide food rations to families in need and educational trainings on health and nutrition. Currently, there are 150 children who receive their meals from the school, which opened in 2002.

This is the 36th Casa Herbalife program established worldwide. After the initial grant, local independent Herbalife distributors support the program with volunteerism and fundraising.

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.
