Impacting lives through nutrition science since day one

Since we began operations in 1986, as a task force to combat xerophthalmia and reduce child death rates, we have touched millions of lives among the most vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), enabling them to step out of malnutrition, poor health, and poverty.
