Malnutrition is the right issue to support

Selecting the right cause is key. The issue needs to be relevant, and your investment should have significant impacts. Fighting malnutrition is visible, necessary and doable. We work closely with our partners to create a mutually beneficial relationship, and to translate your contribution into real benefits to vulnerable communities. GAIN delivers efficiently and effectively. Many donors also seek personal fulfillment and wish to get actively involved while others simply want a clear demonstration of the effectiveness of a contribution.

Making your money go further and do more

Making a contribution to GAIN is a good investment in the future. GAIN creates national partnerships between government, business and civil society around nutrition; by working with GAIN, the value of your donations are automatically enhanced thanks to the expertise of businesses, the political support of governments and the know-how of international and local organizations on the ground.

Monitoring and measuring the return on investment

By constantly monitoring and measuring the return on investment for all programs, GAIN lets you know where your money is going and the benefits are easily demonstrated. Through this innovative and focused approach to fighting malnutrition, GAIN provides a platform for involvement with sustainable solutions and it is actively involved in pushing the issue of malnutrition on to the public, political and business agenda, thereby providing visibility and advocacy.

Achieving the UN Millennium Goals

Support to GAIN will also help to achieve several of the UN Millennium Development Goals: the establishment of public-private partnerships addresses Goal 8 (develop a global partnership for development); there is a major contribution towards Goals 4 and 5 (to reduce child mortality and to improve maternal health); and there are also significant factors in Goal 1 (eradicate extreme poverty and hunger), Goal 3 (promote gender equality and empower women) and Goal 2 (achieve universal primary education - improved nutrition at schools leads to higher attendance of young girls). In addition it meets the goal of the United Nations General Assembly at the Special Session for Children in 2002, which determined specific goals for iodine, vitamin A and iron deficiency.
