Also, since 2019, Herbalife Nutrition Foundation has been one of our most important partners in building the largest Social and Educational Support Center in Romania. This new center will include a kitchen and a dining room where more than 200 children will be able to enjoy a healthy and warm meal every day to give them energy and strength to learn. We are very lucky and grateful to have a long-standing partner with a vital contribution to the lives of vulnerable children in Romania“, said Mihaela Voivozeanu, President of “Ana and the Children” Association.
