In 2025, that funding reached nearly 74 million women and children across 65 countries, helped avert 49,000 cases of stunted growth in children, and protected nearly 800,000 pregnant women from anemia. See where your support goes in our 2025 Annual Report.

Our new Annual Report breaks down the impact: 57,000+ children's lives saved, 800,000 pregnant women protected from anemia, and $261 million in additional lifetime earnings created through better nutrition.

During pregnancy, every prenatal care visit is an opportunity to support the health of both mother and baby. A new study focused on prenatal care services in Morelos, Mexico, found that while pregnant women regularly received routine services, such as being weighed and having their appointments documented, nutrition support was often limited or missing. Researchers from the Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública, Yale University, and Vitamin Angels reviewed more than 1,000 prenatal care records and observed nearly 370 consultations. The findings point to a systems challenge, not a lack of commitment. Health workers want to provide meaningful support, and pregnant women want clear guidance they can use to care for themselves and their babies. However, consistent nutrition counseling requires time, training, and practical tools that are often missing. When nutrition services are not fully delivered, important opportunities to strengthen maternal and child health can be missed. Prenatal care is one of the most important windows to support a healthy pregnancy, and this research helps show where additional support can make care more complete.

What if the problem isn’t just access… but also usability? Last month in Makueni County, Kenya, I saw something that stayed with me. A simple but powerful shift: moving from providing solutions to designing solutions that women can actually use. Marcella’s story, recently featured in Daily Nation, brings this to life. She did everything right by attending antenatal visits and receiving supplements. Yet, she struggled to take them because the taste made her nauseous. Not because she didn’t care, but because the solution didn’t fit her reality. And that’s the insight we can’t ignore: 👉 Access alone is not impact. 👉 Solutions must work in real life, not just in guidelines. That’s why the introduction of multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) in Makueni matters. It’s not just more nutrients. It’s a better-designed solution. One that women can tolerate, trust, and take consistently. And that’s where real impact begins. This is what progress looks like: ⭐ Listening to women ⭐ Applying evidence ⭐ Delivering solutions that work in practice Proud to see this come to life in partnership with the Government Of Makueni County, alongside Helen Keller Intl and iDE (International Development Enterprises), with support from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Because transforming maternal health is not about adding more interventions. It’s about making them work at scale, and for real lives.

Earlier this morning in Geneva, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia convened health leaders and experts at the World Health Organization's Seventy-ninth World Health Assembly (WHA) to discuss malnutrition prevention and the importance of and progress in large-scale interventions in the Global South. As one of the first countries to implement an end-to-end initiative to integrate multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) into its national health care system, Indonesia has set a powerful global precedent in advancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women. Vitamin Angels is honored to deliver MMS across 209 districts in Indonesia alongside the Ministry of Health and proud to see them advocate for this life-changing intervention on a global stage. 👏 #WHA79 #GlobalHealth #MaternalHealth #Indonesia #Healthcare

Saving lives, improving birth outcomes, and helping to stop malnutrition before it starts. That's the power of multiple micronutrient supplements (#MMS). Commonly known as prenatal multivitamins, MMS contains 15 essential nutrients proven to support healthier pregnancies and good health for women and their babies. 🤰 Last year, the MMS we provided with our partners gave 11.3 million women and their babies a chance to thrive. With your help, we know we can reach even more. Learn how prenatal multivitamins can change lives and join us to make it happen.
