In a recent newsletter, Give Children A Choice, our field partner in Laos, shares an inspiring update. Together, we are working to connect children in need with essential nutrients in Laos where 40% of children suffer from chronic malnutrition. 

“We were blessed with a generous donation from Santa Barbara-based Vitamin Angels to distribute one year’s worth of daily multiple vitamins to 24,000 preschool children.  We distributed three quarters of the vitamins.  The impact is astounding.  The vitamins have “woken up” our preschoolers from being tired and listless to being active and attentive in school.”

Last February Vitamin Angels’ President, Howard Schiffer, headed to Laos with our favorite photographer, Matt Dayka, and some friends from Sanofi-Aventis to meet with Give Children a Choice and the children we reach in the Xieng Khouang Province. Read more about the trip>>
