The signal is expressed in International Morse code as … — — — … (three dots, three dashes, three dots).  Children's Village, Madrid, Spain and Obra Do Frei Gil in Oporto, Portugal.

In 2005, HFF introduced Casa Herbalife, a program to help provide healthy and nutritious meals by partnering with existing charities serving children. This program for children-at-risk is named after Casa Herbalife, an orphanage HFF built in Brazil in 1998 and continues to support today. These new programs bring the total number of Casa Herbalife programs established worldwide to 20.

SOS Children's Village, Madrid, looks after 60 abandoned children up to 16 years old, in a total of 13 homes, providing a stable home environment for those who are orphaned or cannot be with their own family for a number of social reasons. The HFF donation will go towards helping the facility provide nutritious meals for the children, as well as to upgrade some of the kitchen facilities. There are a total of eight SOS Children's Villages SOS Children's Villages is an independent, non-governmental international development organisation which has been working to meet the needs and protect the interests and rights of children since 1949. It was founded by Hermann Gmeiner in Imst, Austria.  in Spain and more than 400 worldwide.

Obra do Frei Gil in Portugal was established in 1942 by Friar Gil Alfreres. Today it comprises four children's homes and two nurseries in four locations. The homes care for children from problematic or very poor families, are homeless or at risk for a number of reasons. The organization works to provide a home environment for approximately 150 children with affection, wellness, education and a sense of family. HFF's donation will be used to outfit the kitchen at the charity's new facility in Oporto, where one of the homes and two of the nurseries are being centralized into one new location to provide for 34 children from infants to 14 years old.

Moving forward, both programs will be supported on an ongoing basis by local Herbalife independent distributors.
