To Reach This
Many Children:

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.
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.
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.
Just $.25 provides essential micronutrients to a child for one year.
Our Operation 20/20 program reaches infants, children, and lactating women in 32 countries on three continents.
A panel of world-class economists assembled by the Copenhagen Consensus ranked micronutrient supplementation ranked as the #1 global priority.
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.
Nutrient-rich foods are often expensive or difficult to obtain in developing countries. Multivitamins provide daily recommended amounts of key vitamins and minerals important for a range of functions essential to good health.

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.
