Herbalife Sets Tsunami Disaster Relief Fundraising Goal of $1 Million

ADELAIDE, Jan. 7--AsiaNet/InfoQuest

Herbalife Ltd has announced a fundraising goal of US$1 million to donate to

tsunami disaster relief efforts through its Herbalife Family Foundation.

Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), a non-profit organisation established by

the company to provide a brighter future for "at-risk" children in need, has

set up a special fund to accept donations, which will be donated to two

international relief organisations that focus on the needs of children and are

already well-established in the regions affected: Save the Children and SOS

Children's Villages.

"Herbalife has operations throughout the region, including Indonesia,

Thailand and India," says Tim Sanson, General Manager Herbalife Australasia.

"We have had a long and close association with the tsunami affected region,

having offices and thousands of distributors and customers there - so this

fundraising effort has a very personal meaning for us."

"With some 4000 independent Herbalife Distributors throughout Australia,

our phones have been ringing hot with them keen for the company to be involved

a soon as possible,” he said. “We have already had a staff contribution – and

we are implementing a payroll deduction process so they can further contribute.

We also have a special contribution process for our distributors - and their

customers, should they want to participate to donate to the HFF Appeal through

their Herbalife Distributor.”

The company will champion donations from employees and Herbalife

Distributors by giving ten cents to every dollar donated to the HFF Appeal

earmarked for the "Tsunami Relief" fund - until the goal is reached.

Herbalife's partnership with Save the Children dates back to the first HFF

donation to help in Kosovo in 1999. Save the Children has met the emergency and

long-term needs of some of the region's poorest children and families for over

30 years. They currently have teams on-the-ground in many of the hardest hit

areas, including Aceh Province in Indonesia delivering fuel, supplies,

temporary shelter materials and food, especially for children under five.

SOS Children's Villages has been the HFF focus in India for six years. SOS

staff are already in Nagapattinam, India, which was heavily affected, working

in tents providing first aid and moving in additional resources to help the

children, many of whom lost their parents in the tsunamis.

For Australian contributions via Herbalife Distributors, Save the Children

Australia will forward tax deductible receipts to the donors. Herbalife

Distributors donating to the HFF Appeal will utilize a special HFF relief

appeal item number.
