Vitamin A Deficiency: Cruel, Unacceptable, and a Killer of Children
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.
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.
Why We Work
Half a 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. 200 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.
