Every six seconds, a child dies from malnutrition
END MALNUTRITION
UNICEF, 2010
Malnutrition is the most serious but least addressed global health problem, resulting from a lack of daily access to high quality, nutritious food among other factors. Our goal is to improve the lives of vulnerable populations around the world through access to affordable, better quality nutritious foods. Programs primarily target women and children, with a focus on the critical 1,000 days from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday. GAIN works to reduce malnutrition by mobilizing public-private partnerships that implement a diverse range of sustainable solutions. We attract innovative blended capital investments to scale up market-based approaches and public health delivery.
