Foundation Seeks to Increase Vitamin A Supplementation

Based out of Michigan, Wes Stoody founded Aframes with a single goal in mind – to increase the funding for vitamin A supplementation in developing countries. 

After learning about the problem, Wes could not believe how few people knew that about one million children die or go blind each year from vitamin A deficiency. More importantly, just $1 per year will fund a year’s worth of life-saving supplements for one child. 

Wes then resolved to start an eyewear brand with the mission of raising awareness and funding for vitamin A supplementation. 

Aframes donates $2 from each pair of glasses sold to Helen Keller International, to help the distribution of vitamin A supplements worldwide.
