According to the World Health Organization, 190 million children, mostly in Africa suffer from Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency leads to visual impairment in the form of night blindness. It may also increase the risk of illness.

Available data indicates that Vitamin A deficiency is high amongst the poor and vulnerable in rural communities in Nigeria. This means that the poor do not understand the importance of taking vitamin supplements, and can not afford them if needed.

Caring Hands for Africa aims to provide Vitamin supplements for children between the ages of 4 to 12 years.
