Blake Roney, Nu Skin Enterprises founder and humanitarian partner, Napoleon Dzombe were recognized with an international Communitas award for "Making a Difference in Malawi" through the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation. The Communitas Awards is an international effort to recognize the spirit of communitas—people helping people—in exceptional businesses, organizations and individuals. Communitas honored Roney and Dzombe's support of the School of Agriculture for Family Independence (SAFI) at Mtalimanja Village in Malawi which annually houses and teaches self-sustaining agricultural techniques to 30 Malawi families. The award was presented to Roney during the company's Team Elite trip in Paris. This is the third consecutive year that Nu Skin has received a Communitas Award for outstanding corporate social responsibility programs.
"Thanks to the combined efforts of Blake, Napoleon, and the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, the third class of SAFI students will soon graduate, totaling more than 150 people educated and given hope for a better life," said Truman Hunt, Nu Skin president and chief executive officer. "Students who attend SAFI are taught how to grow food and become self-reliant by supporting their families through agriculture. I have seen the amazing change that SAFI has brought in the lives of the students and their children, providing these families with hope for a brighter future in Malawi."
