Nourish the Children

Reported by Convoy of Hope

Nourish the Children, an initiative of Nu Skin, has become an important partner in Convoy of Hope’s Children’s Feeding initiative. In 2013, Nourish the Children provided more than 4.3 million meals (VitaMeal) that were distributed through Convoy of Hope to Cambodia, El Salvador, Haiti, and Honduras.

VitaMeal is vegetarian, nondairy, and allows for the easy addition of ingredients to fit every taste and culture, which fits perfectly with Convoy of Hope’s initiative to feed children around the world. Each VitaMeal package contains 30 child-sized meals — enough food to provide a child with one nutritious meal each day for a month.

“We continue to make significant impacts in these children’s by having successful, productive partnerships,” says Erick Meier, Vice President of Supply Chain for Convoy of Hope. “Happy, nourished children are a direct result of our partnership with Nourish the Children over the last year, and we’re grateful for their support.”
