100 Garden Towers planted on the island MANILA, Philippines , May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The USANA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of USANA Health Sciences—along with 30 USANA distributors from seven countries—recently built 100 Garden Towers on the island of Malapascua, Cebu, in pursuit of providing sustainable and accessible sources of nutrition. This initiative strengthens USANA's broader mission to create the healthiest family on earth. Founded in 2012, the USANA Foundation's mission is to eliminate hunger and malnutrition globally.
Located at the northern coast of Cebu, Malapascua Island is a popular tourist destination for divers due to its crystal blue waters and rich aquatic ecosystems. Beyond its beauty, there is an underlying problem of malnutrition for locals rooted in limited economic opportunities and lack of accessible nutritional sources. "Malnutrition is prevalent in Malapascua due to the lack of access to affordable nutrition," said Brian Paul , president of the USANA Foundation .
"This project helps provide sustainable, accessible nutrition on the island, which in turn will hopefully improve the quality of life and health for the locals. Malapascua Island is a unique place with unique challenges, and we are eager to see how the Garden Towers make a positive impact on the community." The USANA Foundation Garden Tower is an innovative solution that provides sustainable, nutritious food for people all over the world.
Each tower is made of durable materi.
