PM-International has increased its support of relief organization WorldVision, raising its number of sponsored children to 8,000. The company stated it will also increase its annual donation to the organization to $3.8 million as a way to strengthen long-term development programs.
PM-International, through its philanthropic arm Foundation PM We Care, has worked with WorldVision for more than two decades and has supported eight community-based projects that improve access to education, healthcare, clean water and income opportunities that help families improve their lives in a sustainable way.
The increase comes at a time when funding for children’s aid has decreased. WorldVision states that government funding cuts and other resources have reduced support by $16.3 billion for vulnerable children around the world.
“We can’t even imagine what these children and their families go through, and how big our impact is for them,” said Vicki Sorg, PM-International Charity Ambassador. “With every FitLine product purchased, our distributors and customers give one hour of life to a sponsored child. Our Team Partners and customers are the strong partners on our side, and we want to continue being the strong partner on World Vision’s side.”
