Nearly 30 years ago, Howard Schiffer, a former midwife-turned-executive in the natural products industry, was struck by the dramatic impact that vitamin A has on a child’s development, yet how very few of the children who needed it had access to it. This realization inspired him to form Vitamin Angels, a global public health nonprofit.

Since then, Vitamin Angels has expanded into other proven, high-impact, evidence-based nutrition interventions to improve maternal and child nutrition worldwide.
