WORKING TOGETHER—Making A Difference!
“We Are GNLD—We Are People Empowering People.” Every
member of the worldwide GNLD family hears—and acts on—these words every
day. And while many think first of life-changing products and an
unmatched financial opportunity, these words from Founder Jerry
Brassfield have always meant much more.
GNLD has a rich history of involvement with organizations that help
others, especially those focused on the needs of children. From local
programs to international commitments, we take pride in selecting
charitable organizations whose works represent the same values for which
we stand: empowering others to achieve better health and personal
development.
GNLD Joins Kids Of Kilimanjaro To Change Young Lives
Founded
by California businessman George Namkung, Kids Of Kilimanjaro is a
not-for-profit school lunch program that provides daily hot meals to
thousands of children in Tanzania. An organization with such a strong
focus on children’s health through better nutrition is obviously in sync
with GNLD’s core values. So it’s no surprise that when GNLD Founder
Jerry Brassfield became aware of this powerful program, he took decisive
action. We are proud to join forces with George and his organization to
assist these children,” he says. “As leaders in the nutrition industry,
it is our honor—and our responsibility—to participate in this manner.”
With GNLD’s new support, Kids Of Kilimanjaro has already added nearly
2,000 more students a day to the program—with a commitment to bring
6,000 more children into the program by the end of 2011! Namkung notes,
“GNLD is in a class of its own.”
The children who have been part of the Kids Of Kilimanjaro
program since its inception five years ago are thriving, and the
children who are new to their daily hot lunch routine are already
benefitting dramatically. Their immune systems are stronger and they are
better able to concentrate on their studies. On a recent trip to
Tanzania, GNLD President and CEO Roget Uys witnessed the inspiring work
of Kids Of Kilimanjaro firsthand. “Through this amazing program, the
educational dreams of these children can finally become reality,” he
explains. “They are beautiful and bright children who now have hope—and
that gives us all hope for an even better future.”
