A Global Crisis
Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are some of the most pressing issues worldwide. The impact includes:
- 3.5 million preventable deaths annually due to malnutrition and related diseases.
- 6 million children die of hunger yearly, often before their 5th birthday.
- Long-term developmental issues, including stunted growth and impaired cognitive abilities.
The Consequences of Malnutrition
- Economic Impact: Reduced productivity and economic growth due to widespread malnutrition.
- Health Risks: Increased susceptibility to infections and complications during pregnancy.
Micronutrient Deficiencies: The Silent Killer
- Iron, Vitamin A, and Zinc Deficiencies: Affect over 2 billion individuals worldwide, leading to severe health issues.
- Vulnerable Groups: Pregnant women, infants, young children, and adolescent girls are at the highest risk.
Why It Matters
Without addressing malnutrition, the cycle of poverty and health risks will continue to devastate lives in underdeveloped regions. Vital-2-Life is committed to breaking this cycle by delivering sustainable, impactful solutions.
