Vitamin Angels does NOT provide product for traveling medical missions abroad. We focus our resources on in-country micronutrient programs that are ongoing and reach the same children year upon year for greater impact. If you are with a traveling medical mission and want to take vitamins with you, we recommend searching for other non-profit organization geared toward provision of health care supplies for this purpose at charitynavigator.com.
