Our vision is to give vision
At KITS, we believe good health and proper eye care should be accessible to everyone and that is why we partnered with Vitamin Angels. We addressed these issues at the root of the problem by increasing access to life-changing nutritional support for underserved children around the world.
Benefits of Vitamin A
It only take two doses of vitamin A per year to combat the devastating effects of vitamin A deficiency. This vital nutrient strengthens the immune system, helping to fight off life-threatening illnesses in children who lack access to nutritious food.
SIGHT
Vitamin A is crucial for healthy eyes. Children who suffer from Vitamin A deficiency may have compromised vision or go completely blind.
The importance of Vitamin A
Growth
Vitamin A deficient children may experience stunting, a problem that could impact them throughout life.
Immunity
Vitamin A plays a key role in maintaining the immune system, meaning children who don't get enough are more susceptible to dangerous diseases like measles and diarrhea.
The 1 to 1 method.
For each pair of glasses* sold, KITS will make a 1-for-1 grant to Vitamin Angels to provide an underserved child with life-changing nutritional support.
KITS is aiming to help Vitamin Angels deliver 100,000 essential nutrition interventions into the lives of at-risk children.
Together is better.
A new future.

Our bodies rely on Vitamin A for day-to-day functions and long-term health. Since we don't produce this vital nutrient naturally, we have to get it through our diet.
Many families in developing countries are unable to meet this basic need, since they're unable to buy or grow Vitamin A-rich foods. This dangerous gap puts their children at risk of sickness, stunted growth, blindness and even death—which is why support for Vitamin Angels is so vital. At Kits, we see a brighter future for every child, everywhere!
