OUR STORY
Healthgarde International is a leading network marketing / direct selling company in Africa; a parent company to 2 historic direct selling brands: Sportron and Swissgarde.
Although a young company, Healthgarde is currently in 7 African countries plus the United States and continues to make strides to expand its footprint across Africa and the world developing and empowering entrepreneurs.
Healthgarde firmly believes in the business model of developing Africans and bringing Africans out of poverty. Changing not only a single life but an entire family, it’s current generation and generations to come. Healthgarde does this through its business model and its foundation.
Nneka Nwarueze evolved from being franchisees of a South African Network marketing company (Swissgarde) for over 16 years to launching Healthgarde in 2020 in partnership with her daughter Lovelyn Bassey and the support of other amazing women. In the same 2020, Healthgarde acquired Ascendis Health Direct which housed 2 brands (Sportron and Swissgarde) with 31 years heritage each.
Healthgarde is not only an African company, but also the 1st major African Women owned network marketing company in the world in just over 3 years; reaching and changing many lives. In addition, starting as distributors of Swissgarde Health products in 2001, Nneka grew her business till her daughter joined her fully to launch their own company and subsequently purchased the companies they previously represented. A true African success story.
“This business is not measured by how much money you make, but by how many people you help and how many lives you change.”
– Robert T. Kiyosaki

OUR MANIFESTO
What are we committed to? Making a difference!
We believe in people
We are not confused by the reality of doubt, lack of ego, integrity or the propensity to do wrong.
We believe in network marketing
We are not confused by the reality of difficult recruiting times, stock shortage, shortage of cash, overwhelming loans and debts, but we believe in our method – it gives us the opportunity to interact with people and give them a greater vision for change and enhancement.
We believe in economic wellbeing and the ability to enjoy a better quality of life, better education, better holidays, a better house, a better bank balance.
We believe in our country
We are not confused by the reality of political expediency, of corruption in high places, of crime and the rest, but we believe that in some small way, we can make a difference in value, in contribution, in perspective of potential.
We believe in overall wellness and health
We are not confused by diabetes, cancer, digestive problems, HIV, anxiety, isolation and hopelessness, but we believe that wellness includes physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual health and we see it as our task to share the principles that govern total wellness.
We believe in giving
We are not confused by the reality of the short term, about the anxiety of loss and losing but we believe that those who give freely will gain even more than those who withhold.
We believe in the power of dream
We are not confused about the reality of sadness, of distraction, of short term defeat, but we believe that there are good people out there who will make a difference – we believe in the transforming power of the dream and the vision.
We believe in serving
We are not confused about the selfishness of self-serving, the arrogance of detachment and self-absorption, but we believe in the opportunity of serving others, not in servility but for the purpose of fulfilling the universal law of sowing and reaping.
We believe in making a difference
We are not confused about the reality of life but we believe that one person given new hope, new faith, new love, will impact on thousands of others and improve our world.
