Globally, an estimated two billion people suffer from a chronic deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals (micronutrients), a condition known as hidden hunger. As the term hidden hunger indicates, the signs are not always visible in those affected by it. Nevertheless, its negative and often lifelong consequences for health, productivity and mental development are devastating. Young children and women of reproductive age living in low-income countries are the most vulnerable. Worldwide, the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies are of iron, zinc, vitamin A, iodine and folate, but deficiencies of vitamin B12 and other B vitamins also commonly occur. In developing countries, multiple micronutrient deficiencies often occur concurrently in the same population. These deficiencies account for approximately 7 percent of the global disease burden annually. Even mild to moderate deficiencies of micronutrients lead to impaired physical and cognitive development, poor physical growth, increased morbidity from infectious diseases in infants and young children and decreased work productivity in adulthood.

10 lessons to change the world...
Start each day with a task completed.
Find someone to help you through life. Respect everyone. Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often, but if you take some risks, step up when the times are the toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden and never, ever give up–if you do these things, then the next generation and the generations that follow will live in a world far better than the one we have today and what started here will indeed have changed the world—for the better.
