We can help make a Difference...

So many of us are daily users of vitamins, minerals, and herbal remedies. We see their benefits and feel their positive effects. Imagine how much more you'd feel those effects if you weren't able to have access to the abundance of food you are acustomed too. Malnutrition causes 1/3 of all childhood deaths. Having the essential nutrients at such a young age is what builds the foundation for a strong healthy life. One high potency Vitamin A capsule every six months can prevent Vitamin A deficiency related blindness in children. Supplementing children under five and pregnant or nursing women with essential vitamins and minerals dramatically reduces avoidable malnutrition, illness, and death.

be Natural along with your assistance would like to help Vitamin Angels and their two wonderful programs: Operation 20/20 and Thrive to Five! All the locals in the area can come by the store where I will have a donation jar on the counter. There is no minimum and no maximum, any little bit will add up and help! As for the rest of you not in the area please make use of the convenient "Chip In" button on this page! Together we can reach my goal of $2500 within the next year and help 10,000 children in the process!!

Together with health advocates worldwide, distribution of vitamin A has helped reduce the number of child deaths to less than 10 million annually for the first time on record.
Our Operation 20/20 program reaches infants, children, and lactating women in 32 countries on three continents.
Research indicates that each dollar spent on supplementation creates benefits worth more than 17 dollars. Better health, fewer deaths and increased future earnings add up to benefits of more than $1 billion yearly.
Every year, around 54 million new children are affected by malnutrition or undernutrition.
Over two billion people worldwide are deficient in essential nutrients. New and expecting mothers and children under five are the groups most vulnerable to vitamin deficiencies.
Vitamin A is essential to immune function, especially in children under five who are most vulnerable to common infections and diseases.
It only takes 25 cents to provide a child with vitamin A and antiparasitics for a year. With one dollar, we can provide a child with vitamin A during the four most vulnerable years of their life.
An estimated 190 million children under five suffer from vitamin A deficiency (VAD) worldwide.
Vitamin Angels' Thrive to Five program provides multivitamins for children and pregnant and lactating women in the U.S. and abroad.
A panel of world-class economists assembled by the Copenhagen Consensus ranked micronutrient supplementation ranked as the #1 global priority.

Essential nutrients, healthy children.

One in three children worldwide is undernourished. Vitamin Angels reduces child mortality by connecting infants and children under five with vital nutrients.

$.25

Just $.25 provides essential micronutrients to a child for one year.
