Fostering Economic Opportunity Our mission is to improve the lives of children by offering hope for A LIFE FREE FROM disease, illiteracy, and POVERTY. SEEDS OF HOPE MALAWI The reforestation of Malawi is essential for protecting children and families from future drought and famine. In this subtropical climate, the oxygen and water condensation released to the atmosphere by trees is critical for rain. The Foundation’s Seeds of Hope project supports reforestation in Malawi by donating 25 cents from each Epoch® Baobab Body Butter sale—the price to purchase and plant one new tree. In just one year, the product sales of dedicated distributors and customers contributed funds to purchase more than 100,000 trees for villages in Malawi. Many seedlings are being planted at schools to help children learn the importance of trees, as well as enjoy the benefits of shade and beauty. 14 2008 YEAR IN REVIEW
MTALIMANJA VILLAGE MALAWI After one year at Mtalimanja Village, 40 families are thriving on the fruit of their own labors. Their knowledge of farming, carpentry, and fishing has expanded, and they have become more self-sufficient. After the first year, the farmers’ maize yields have doubled. In addition, with the support from Nu Skin distributors in Europe, there are two new facilities under construction—a daycare center for children and a dormitory for volunteers who help in the village. The one-of-a-kind teaching village was built in partnership with local nonprofit organizations and civic groups in 2006 with the goal of teaching families in Malawi to become economically independent and less vulnerable to drought. The families stay in the village for approximately two years. Once they master their new agricultural skills, they return to their respective villages and teach these principles to others, including children, who can ensure that the ideals of self-sufficiency will last for generations. www.forceforgood.org 15
