MarketWatch:
The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) has established two new Casa Herbalife programs to support nutrition and wellness programs at Scotland’s Action for Children (North Lanarkshire Young Carers Project), and in Queretaro, Mexico at La Alegria de los Ninos, IAP (Children’s Happiness).
In 2006, HFF provided a grant to Action for Children’s London location to help educate young people who serve as their family’s primary caregiver. Due to the program’s success, an additional request was made for funding for its North Lanarkshire Young Carers project in Scotland, which began 15 years ago. The project currently supports over 250 young people who serve as the primary caretaker for ailing or chronically ill parents through a wide range of support services that include in-school support, outreach/community support, focused group work programs, individual counseling, family support, and educational activities and excursions.
The grant will help Action for Children offer young ‘carers’ more training around the importance of preparing and storing food properly, food hygiene and food safety as well as learning to cook for their families and make healthy food choices.
