Support angels...Vitamin Angels. Vitamin Angels is a special charity that reduces child mortality worldwide by connecting essential micronutrients with infants and children under five. Essential micronutrients, especially vitamin A, enable young immune systems to fight infectious diseases, helping children attain good health and the oppurtunity to lead meaningful and productive lives.
Every year, up to 5oo,ooo children go blind from Vitamin A deficiencies. Tens of millions more are at risk. Vitamin Angels has set a goal of eliminating childhood blindness by the year 2020. Just two high dose Vitamin A capsules given to a child each year will prevent that child from losing his or her sight forever.
In developing countries, infants and children are at high risk for malnutrition, which can result in crippling diseases, and in the worst case, death. The Childhood Nutrition program donates nutritional supplements to facilities and health projects providing care to children in more than 35 countries yearly.
