March 4th. Kyiv.
On the eve of March 8, the team of the Foundation and the Assembly sent small gifts for women to our Children’s Help Centers – UNIMMAP MMS vitamins manufactured by Kirk Humanitarian with the support of UNICEF and WHO, which were donated to us by the participant of the charity action «Give a little piece of warmth» – Salvation Church (Vyshneve, Kyiv region).
Today, the items were delivered to the Centers in Kuchurhan, Machukhy and Turiysk.
We express our gratitude to our logistics partner Nova Poshta for the opportunity to deliver the humanitarian cargo quickly. Special thanks to the branch No. 51 for their efficient work.
UNIMMAP MMS vitamins are multiple micronutrient supplements by Kirk Humanitarian that contain 15 essential vitamins and minerals, including iron and folic acid.
In countries where 1 in 3 women suffer from anemia, UNIMMAP MMS offers even more benefits. For pregnant women with anemia, taking these vitamins reduces the risk of newborn death by 29% and reduces the likelihood of having underweight, stunted, or stillborn babies by 19%.
And for underweight mothers, UNIMMAP MMS reduces the risk of preterm birth by 16%.
But these vitamins will also be useful for women who are not pregnant. Because at this time, when the country is in «chaos» not only in the field of security, business and economy, but also in the food and healthcare sectors, it is difficult to find and purchase high-quality vitamin complexes. So we hope that these vitamins will help women boost and maintain their body’s immunity.
