Vitamin A (VA) is an essential nutrient needed
in small amounts for the normal functioning of
the visual system, growth and development,
maintenance of epithelial cellular integrity,
immune function and reproduction. Severe
deficiency of VA is known to produce corneal
exophthalmia, keratomalacia and blindness in
children. Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is mainly
seen amongst the young children as they have
high requirements due to increased physical
growth and have low dietary intake.
Hence Nalantha Education Trust, a grass roots
development organization and our partner of
Vitamin Angels appeals for generous attention
and care for children and distributing the
Vitamin A supplement who are in lack of
vitamins to create a healthy and vitamin rich
generation.
What We Do
