ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—The charitable wing of the women’s professional tennis tour and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have started a joint effort to provide prenatal vitamins to 1 million women in low- and middle-income countries.

The Women Change the Game campaign—announced Friday, International Women’s Day—aims to raise money and awareness to make women’s health and nutrition a priority around the world. It is the first element of a partnership between the WTA Foundation and the Gates Foundation.
