Our Global Impact

For women and their families worldwide, access to United Nations International Multiple Micronutrient Antenatal Preparation Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (UNIMMAP MMS) free-of-cost can be life-changing. UNIMMAP MMS, which contain 15 essential micronutrients that help ensure maternal and newborn health, are not always available in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) or war-torn regions. In these contexts, pregnant women often only have access to iron-folic acid (IFA), a supplement containing only 2 micronutrients.

In partnership with governments and NGOs, Kirk Humanitarian has been working to change that by leading the effort to deliver UNIMMAP MMS and help countries transition to national UNIMMAP MMS programs. The stories below illustrate the impact this work has made across the world, from South America to Africa to Asia, representing a selection of the efforts we support. We will continue to share stories of impact that reflect the voices of the women and families who directly benefit from this important work, the experiences with national governments, and the progress made toward implementing and scaling UNIMMAP MMS around the world.
