Once this foot long section was removed, the acai palm was left to die, and it is thought that they do not grow back. By creating a market for the acai berry, the trees could live and flourish in the Brazilian rainforest, providing income for the local population and helping to save the earth by its very existence.
The MonaVie MORE Project focuses on helping the local Brazilian families learn new skills. It helps them find new resources and supports them in their efforts to create new and better lives. Education is a big part of the project as the mission is to help and support the people so they can eventually take care of themselves and create their own opportunities. And then as they move ahead, they can turn and help others in the community so that everyone has a chance to succeed.
One way that MonaVie supports the MORE Project is by paying all of the administrative costs and in this way all other donations go directly to the MORE programs in Brazil, whose staff work every day to help support and lift up the local population. Along with the MonaVie founders and leaders, the project is also supported by many of the MonaVie independent distributors.
In fact it was a MonaVie distributor, Doug Roland, who originally met Sergio Ponce who was doing charitable work with the poverty stricken population outside of Rio. This is the work that was supported and grew into the MORE Project.
Today MonaVie MORE supports several other projects including Mom’s House, The Father’s House, and several other programs. Each of the programs is designed and dedicated to supporting the poorest Brazilian citizens and helping them create lives full of hope and dignity.
The MORE Project and MonaVie!
MonaVie, a worldwide leader in healthy and nutritional drinks is also committed to helping others in the world. One way they do this is with the MonaVie MORE Project, which is the company’s effort to relieve the suffering of people in Brazil who need help. Brazil was chosen because it is the home of the acai berry, which is the heart of the MonaVie blends.
MonaVie was started in 2005 and quickly became a worldwide success. In addition to business success, the founders, Dallin Larsen, Randy Larsen, and Henry Marsh also wanted to create and share abundance in other areas. This includes resources and prosperity.
Because the acai berry brought the founders so much success and abundance they wanted to share and return that success to the country of Brazil where the acai berry is harvested. After meetings and reviews the MonaVie founders decided that the best way to help Brazil was to find ways to help the general population where more than twenty percent lived in extreme poverty.
MonaVie had already helped the Brazilian population by creating a product that used one of their resources, thus creating an income stream. And this income was created just in time as the acai palm trees were being destroyed by poachers who killed the trees in search of a small section called the heart of palm.
