PARTNERSHIP WITH VITAMIN ANGELS

The need for supplements increases during pregnancy. When a mother does not have sufficient access to healthy food, the risks to her and her baby increase. Pregnancy vitamins help support healthy pregnancies, prevent anaemia, promote fetal growth and ensure babies are born with a healthy birth weight. They are crucial to the health and survival of the growing baby and to the health and well-being of the mother.

Children in developing countries, where food is not fortified, often have vitamin A deficiencies. With a proven administration of vitamin A, disease, blindness and death can be prevented. Worms can prevent the child’s body from absorbing vitamin A. That is why Vitamin Angels provides children with worming tablets to improve health and the absorption of essential nutrients.

In combination with providing vitamins, Vitamin Angels also provides nutritional education tools and materials that their program partners can use to ensure long-term good health. The families they help face extreme challenges and limited resources, but a lack of education should never be a barrier to good health. In cooperation with their program partners, they encourage and support additional education about the basics of nutrition and its importance.
