The World Health Organization estimates that about 140 million children suffer from Vitamin A deficiency. About 250,000 to 500,000 of these children become blind every year and half die within 12 months of losing their sight. Many more lose their lives before any signs of deficiency are even visible.

Vitamin Angels is dedicated to reducing child mortality worldwide by connecting essential microntrients with infants and children under five. Essential nutrients enable young immune systems to fight infectious diseases, helping children attain good health and the opportunity to lead meaningful and productive lives.It only takes 25 cents to provide a child with Vitamin A and antiparasitics for a year. That means that for 1 dollar, we can provide a child with vitamin A during the most vulnerable years of their life.
