Our Work in India
Vitamin Angels began work in India in 2010 with the goal of reaching underserved, nutritionally vulnerable populations — pregnant women, infants, and children — with evidence-based nutrition interventions (EBNIs).
We partner with multiple stakeholders to deliver these EBNI’s directly to at-risk communities, while providing technical assistance to ensure program quality, scale, and impact. Through this collaborative model, we seek to support initiatives that are complementary to and coordinated with existing national health services, focusing specifically on improving coverage at the last mile.
Over the last decade, we have worked with a network of over 1,800 program partners across India, including State and Union Territory governments, to reach over 20 million under-five children and women across the country.
Vitamin Angels is actively seeking new partners in India
