Mozambique

Care for Life
Mozambique has some of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Between 12 and 17 percent of the population has HIV/AIDS - leaving thousands of children orphaned each year. Mozambique's orphaned children subsequently live on the streets surviving any way they can. Care for Life, an Arizona-based non-profit organization, is committed to ease this desperate situation by helping create group homes for children in Mozambique's Sofala Province. In April 2003, the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation donated funds for the building and maintenance of a home for 12-20 orphans and at-risk children, the creation of an agriculture project that will provide food for the children of the home and a related infant orphanage, and sustainable in-kind salary to at least 10 workers.

International Volunteers in Urology
Nu Skin's Force for Good Foundation donated funds in October 2005 to International Volunteers in Urology (IVU) to purchase supplies, equipment and pharmaceuticals for five pediatric health care teaching expeditions to Mongolia, Palestine, Ghana, Mozambique and Honduras. IVU currently conducts an average of four to five pediatric teaching trips per year, and performs an average of 35-80 operations per trip. They spend much of their time on the trips to educate local doctors and nurses who in turn can train their local colleagues.

Previous projects include:

• Donation to purchase medical equipment used in medical relief expeditions in 2003
