doTERRA疗愈之手基金会为世界带来疗愈和希望,帮助人们远离疾病和贫穷的生活,提供贫困社区的人们自力更生的方法。
有一群在健康照护及商业经营领域上颇为专业的人士,深刻地体验了精油为生活带来的改变而怀抱着共同的理想,决定合作创造出更高层次的高品质精油,以造福世界各地的人们。这个愿望在2008年春天实现了。他们成立了doTERRA美商多特瑞公司,而doTERRA 意为“大地的礼物”。自公司成立以来,所采购和行销的高品质精油已经遍布全世界,改善了许多人的生活。
除了于世界各地的人们共享精油,doTERRA 希望运用他们的资源为人们和社区服务。刚开始是捐助慈善机构、募款者及社区计划,到后来渐渐地树立了更远大的目标。doTERRA疗愈之手基金会成立于2012年6月,是一个符合官方 501(c)(3) 条款规范的非营利组织。这是其中一个方法让doTERRA通过此基金会为需要帮助的社区提供服务。借由与其他组织和doTERRA 健康倡导者的合作, 给予世界各地数百的人们希望与救助。通过基金会的努力,人们能够获得自力更生的能力、摆脱疾病及改善贫困的生活。
As is common with many non-profits, maintaining a constant flow of money and resources can be difficult. In order to provide sufficient funds for the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation, the founders of doTERRA conceived a plan to sustainably raise money for the new organization and maximize its effect on individuals and communities worldwide. Donations to the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation can be made in any of the following ways.
PayPal Donations
Donations can be made online in US dollars through the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation Make a Donation page.
Rose Oil Lotion Sales
doTERRA chose Rose Oil Lotion as a product donation because of its unique value. This lotion is infused with Rose essential oil, which is known as the “Queen of essential oils.” Rose essential oil is a labor-intensive oil that requires the extraction of 242,000 rose petals from 8,000 roses to produce only 5 mL of essential oil.
Because of its many benefits and its intense extraction process, Rose oil is rare and valuable. doTERRA chose this Rose oil infused lotion to donate and represent the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation because it embodies the value of the Foundation.
Hope Oil Sales
The doTERRA Hope Blend was released at the 2016 doTERRA Convention. Due to the high demand of the doTERRA Hope Blend at its release, however, it was determined that this blend would be available for individual sale as well.
Mentors International
The first donations from the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation went toward a microcredit lending fund through the nonprofit organization Mentors International. Through this fund, and the additional funds that have been created over the years, credit is provided to small business owners that do not have access to financing opportunities or whose only lending options are with unethical and even dangerous lenders. The partnership between the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation and Mentors International provides hard-working entrepreneurs with small business loans and education to help them succeed in their business. These loans offer opportunities for personal and family growth and can help them elevate their communities through economic development.
Days for Girls
Days for Girls works to provide every girl in the world the education, safety, and dignity that they deserve through direct distribution of sustainable feminine hygiene kits; by partnering with nonprofits, groups, and organizations; by raising awareness; and by helping communities around the world start their own programs. Thanks to a global grassroots network of thousands of volunteers and supporters on six continents, Days for Girls has reached women and girls in over 100 countries.
In addition to microcredit lending, the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation focuses on programs and organizations that work to improve sanitation and water availability, health care, and educational opportunities. To encourage and support the many existing service programs, our Wellness Advocates are able to request assistance from the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation for projects or service programs they are involved with. This type of service falls under Wellness Advocate Partner Projects. To qualify for support, Wellness Advocate projects must achieve the following criteria:
100 percent of all donations to the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation go directly to those receiving aid, so donors can be confident that their donations will be used to help those in need. This is possible because of doTERRA's generous commitment to cover all overhead and administrative costs of the foundation.
Co-Impact Sourcing is a responsible method for sourcing doTERRA essential oils. This type of sourcing occurs in areas of the world that can best sustain plants for essential oils and, most importantly, can help elevate communities out of poverty and desperate need. Thanks to the relationships that have been developed in these Co-Impact Sourcing locations, the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation has been able to establish humanitarian projects that benefit the hard-working community members in these areas.
