Launched in 2013, the Casa Herbalife Vietnam program has helped about 1,000 needy children have access to healthy nutrition on a daily basis with total grants of over VND 14 billion since then. In 2019, Herbalife Vietnam also introduced the Star Program to its Casa Herbalife Nutrition centers to help these children have better knowledge of healthy food and building habits of doing regular exercise.
“The strong support and generous contributions from both our members and employees are key to the continuation and expansion of our Casa Herbalife program, bringing valuable and timely support to needy children in a sustainable manner. Apart from financial support, these donors are also caregivers who are always willing to spend time visiting, talking, doing exercise and playing sports with these children to help them grow healthier, both physically and mentally”, said Mr. Vu Van Thang, General Manager for Herbalife Vietnam and Cambodia.
