Women in Haiti – Vitamin Angels 2009

As a founding supporter and platinum level sponsor of Vitamin Angels, Rainbow Light has donated over 15 million prenatal and children’s supplements to at-risk women and children worldwide. This support plays a vital role in improving maternal and infant survival rates, birth weights, and children’s physical and cognitive development, while reducing mortality and morbidity rates, birth defects and other ailments caused by nutritional deficiencies.

Malnutrition is a global concern, leading to the deaths of nearly 10 million children each year. 1 “Over the years, Rainbow Light has helped save the lives of tens of thousands of mothers and children because of their long-term humanitarian commitment,” noted Vitamin Angels Founder and President, Howard Schiffer.

Rainbow Light and Vitamin Angels’ goal is to help vulnerable children to thrive physically and cognitively, not just survive. Donations target pregnant and lactating women and their children in areas where the population is medically underserved and at special risk for vitamin deficiencies and related morbidity and mortality.

Your purchases of Prenatal One™, Prenatal Petite™, Complete Prenatal System™ and Kids’ One Multistars® multivitamins drive donations to Vitamin Angels. Together we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of women and children around the world.

Founded in 1994, Vitamin Angels is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization providing basic nutrition to areas of extreme poverty, catastrophic need and civil strife. Learn more at www.vitaminangels.org
