Through the School of Agriculture for Family Independence (SAFI), farming families in Malawi get the opportunity to refine their agricultural techniques and learn best practices of agribusiness and nutrition to become self-reliant and provide the best possible future for their children. Many families’ lives have been transformed by the skills they learn at SAFI, enabling them to help their children go to school and create a brighter future. Each graduated family progresses with these new techniques and has the responsibility to pass these principles on to other community members.

The SAFI Extension partners with the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation and trains government agriculture workers to provide agricultural education to families and communities. While the SAFI campus only has the capacity to house 30–40 families, the SAFI Extension allows for more families to be taught and apply these life-changing principles. During 2018, the SAFI Extension trained more than 1,300 farmers giving them the skills they need to be self-reliant. In total, the SAFI Extension program has trained 5,785 farmers in Malawi.

Fruit trees change the lives of vulnerable children by providing nourishment for them and a source of income for their families. Through the Seeds of Hope program, more than 36,000 fruit trees were purchased and planted in 2018. Indigenous trees that produce guava, pawpaw, avocado, and other fruits were distributed to 9,000 households. The program is funded in part through a US $0.25 contribution from the sale of each unit of Epoch® Baobab Body Butter.
