Description

In India, Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) hinders the growth and intellectual development of 70 million people, with 20% of the population at risk. Yet up to 50% of the iodine in iodized salt can be lost during storage, transportation, and Indian cooking. Using world-class technology, Hindustan Lever Ltd. (HLL) has developed a more stable iodine for salt that is effective in preventing IDD and affordable. By using village-based entrepreneurs to sell products in remote areas, HLL is ensuring its availability, as well as providing jobs, income, and self-respect for the poor.
