The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is an international organization driven by the vision of a world without malnutrition.

In recent years we have expanded our approach to reach those on the margins of society, who are often the most excluded, vulnerable and severely malnourished, such as the Dalit community in India who experience oppression because of their caste; adolescent girls; and families affected by emergencies. ABOUT GAIN / Each day, 795 million people – one in nine – go hungry.
