The Nu Skin Force For Good Foundation was founded nearly 25 years ago. It's mission has been to improve lives throughout the world. Martha Stewart would call this a good thing. I agree.
In a 1993 convention speech, Blake Roney, chairman and co-founder of Nu Skin Enterprises, used the phrase
force for goodas he shared his vision of how he wanted the company, its distributors, and employees to be known around the world. This phrase articulated the company's values and has become the central theme of the company's overall mission and philanthropic efforts.
Since its inception in 1996, the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation has supported hundreds of worthwhile projects in more than 50 countries throughout the world.
Here's an example of the kind of good work the foundation achieves:
Mtalimanja Village (Malawi)
The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation recently celebrated the dedication of Mtalimanja Village in Malawi, Africa. Named by the local people of Malawi, Mtalimanja means "long hands that give." In partnership with local non-profit organizations and civic groups, the Foundation initiated the project in 2006 with the goal of building an actual village where the people of Malawi could learn to be self-sufficient and independent. More than 100 people populated the village in September 2007 to be educated and trained in numerous disciplines including farming, carpentry, and fishing. The families will stay in the village for approximately two years. Once they master their new farming skills, they will return to their respective villages and teach these new principles to others. The Build a Village project is funded in part by VitaMeal — 25 cents is donated from the sale of each bag in the United States.
