Dominican Republic

Fundacion Hogares Luby
In June 2000, the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation donated to Hogares Luby, an orphanage for handicapped children in the Dominican Republic. There are approximately 90 severely handicapped orphans, many with crippled legs, some with enlarged heads, one autistic child, some with open sores caused by neglect and some with other kinds of handicaps. The operators of this facility had planned to add a second story to the existing building but engineers determined that would not be feasible. Coincidentally, the house next door to the orphanage was put up for sale. The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation donation was used toward the purchase of the new facility.
