Support the Iodine Global Network this Giving Tuesday!
Help us protect the developing brains of children worldwide by ensuring access to iodized salt—a simple, cost-effective solution to prevent iodine deficiency. At just $0.05 per person per year, you can be part of a global effort that has already brought iodized salt to 88% of the world's population. But the work isn’t done—1 billion people still lack access to adequately iodized salt, and the progress that has been made needs continued monitoring and work to avoid sliding back.
Why This Matters:
Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and early childhood is the leading preventable cause of intellectual disability. Your support will directly impact vulnerable populations, enabling IGN to:
- Guide efforts to sustain vital salt iodization programs worldwide.
- Innovate cost-effective monitoring tools, as initiated recently in Armenia and Sri Lanka.
- Assist in sustaining or improving salt iodization in fragile or emergency conditions, such as in Afghanistan, and South Sudan.
- Advocate for policies ensuring iodine-rich diets for millions, including in economically challenged regions.
Your Impact:
- $5 can protect 100 people for an entire year.
- $25 can meaningfully contribute to the resources for a sentinel surveillance site to monitor iodine levels in a region.
- $100 can support training for salt producers to improve the quality of iodized salt.
Your donations will help IGN’s team of experts and 100+ dedicated volunteers in 100+ countries as they work tirelessly to ensure every person—regardless of their circumstances—has access to this essential micronutrient.
This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of brighter futures.
Together, we can eliminate the severe consequences of iodine deficiency worldwide. Let’s make it happen!
