Vitamins
These pictures show some of many families who benefited from our prenatal vitamin distribution
program for expectant and nursing mothers. Four villages received these nutrients (Sano and Thulo Kunwar,
Bagahi, and Nadawa). We also distributed vitamins to the elderly, children, and those with visible
signs of arsenicosis. In these villages women nurse their children until they are 5 years old.
