We Fight the Horrific Inequities in the Healthcare Space
Fighting Health Inequalities Worldwide
We are a nonprofit serving the disadvantaged population with last mile health solutions. We believe in justice and inclusion, and promoting health equality for all.
We fight malnutrition and its serious side effects. Our flagship project is giving vitamin A to malnourished to children to prevent permanent blindness, and save lives
Why We Work
One million hungry children become blind every year due to Vitamin A deficiency. Blind forever. They are doomed to a life of darkness. Half of them die due to low immunity and recurrent infections. 250 million children worldwide suffer from Vitamin A deficiency and are at risk of losing their vision.
“We cannot provide nutritious food to everyone. But surely we can give the life-saving drops of vitamin A to malnourished children; to save them from the horror of permanent blindness, recurrent infections, and untimely deaths.”, says Dr. Radhika Batra, Co-founder, and President.

Radhika, who started Every Infant Matters, started in India, but now she’s expanded to Kenya and Nigeria. To see what she’s doing to reach a mom and a kid with vitamin A drops, which help prevent blindness and child mortality in many developing nations…I admire her.
