Kirk Humanitarian Continues Commitment to UNIMMAP MMS at Nutrition for Growth

In May 2024, Kirk Humanitarian committed the first N4G pledge of (USD) $125,000,000 to accelerate adoption of prenatal supplements, specifically UNIMMAP MMS, in high burden countries that have demonstrated readiness and political commitment for long-term, sustainable scale up.

Kirk Humanitarian has already deployed $34,400,000 for in-kind product donations (equivalent to 16 million 180-count bottles of UNIMMAP MMS) to the Child Nutrition Fund (CNF) in support of UNICEF’s 2024-2025 Improving Maternal Nutrition Acceleration Plan.

The remaining amount, $90,600,000 will be deployed between now and December 31, 2028 to support global efforts to adopt MMS.

The total contributed amount will allow us to reach more than 60,000,000 pregnant women by 2030 with UNIMMAP MMS prenatal supplements.

In addition, Kirk Humanitarian pledges up to $10,000,000 to match new donations to the WTA Foundation’s Global Women’s Health Fund, which aims to engage the tennis community to raise resources to provide prenatal vitamins to 1 million women living in low- and middle-income countries over the next year. Every dollar raised through the Fund through December 31, 2025 (up to $10 million) will be directed toward the CNF.
