Title
Double Prenatal Vitamins/Vitamin A help
Description
Prenatal vitamins and Vitamin A supplements are critical elements in fighting global malnutrition, especially given the devastating effects of COVID-19. Last year, Food for the Hungry delivered more than 10 million prenatal and vitamin A supplements to mothers and children throughout the world, and this year we plan to more than double our distribution so more than 6.1 million mothers will have safer pregnancies and over 17.5 million children will have healthier starts to their lives.
