DIFFICULTY: Easy
"One third of all childhood deaths are caused by undernutrition."
Vitamin deficiencies can cause debilitating effects, like blindness, and in extreme cases can be fatal. A donation of 25 cents can provide vitamin A for a child for one year. They estimate that providing one vitamin A capsule every six months to children could reduce under-five child death rates by 23%. That's pretty significant for one little vitamin!
