A Child's Hope Foundation
In 2005, The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation donated a grant to help with costs in expanding an orphanage in Haiti. A Child's Hope Foundation was created to serve the needs of orphaned and abandoned children in poverty-stricken countries, specifically babies and infants.
Healing Hands for Haiti
In October 2005, Nu Skin's Force for Good Foundation donated funds to Healing Hands for Haiti to purchase a generator to adequately meet electricity demands for a clinic that provides rehabilitation services to both children and adults with disabilities. Electricity capabilities in Haiti are very sparse due to their power sector being "on the verge of a systematic collapse in terms of production, transmission, residential distribution and commercial management."
Previous projects include:
- Donated a vehicle to transport patients and medical teams in 2002
- Donated funds for prosthetic equipment for amputees in 2000

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
