Future Fortified is a campaign of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) to help millions of women and children around the world access the essential nutrients they need to maintain healthy, enriched lives. Their goal is to provide sustainable access to improved nutrition for 50 million women and children in developing countries by 2015.
We think this is a great program and wanted to get involved and help spread the word about this wonderful organization. Many often forget that there are people out there that aren’t getting the adequate nutrition that they need every day. Let’s help these women and children, even if only by spreading the word or making only a small donation. Everything counts, right?
A World Nourished
Ensuring adolescent girls, pregnant women and young children receive essential nutrients –
such as vitamin A, iodine, iron, zinc, and folic acid – is a proven, cost-effective way to improve the health and well-being of millions of people and communities around the world. Improved nutrition for pregnant women, new moms and young children during the 1,000-day period from pregnancy to their second year of life puts children on the right track to grow-up healthier, smarter and even earn more throughout their lifetime. Nonetheless, an estimated two billion people around the world lack access to the essential nutrients they need for proper physical and cognitive development. In fact poor nutrition in mothers and children is the underlying cause of over 35% of all childhood deaths each year.

Home Nutrition Packets
Home nutrition packets are an innovative and proven way for moms around the world to improve their children’s diets. Adding essential nutrients to meals prepared at home helps strengthen bones, muscles and immune systems. At just pennies a day, the products are affordable for low-income and vulnerable families. We think it is great how families can sprinkle the essential nutrients right onto their locally grown foods! This is a simple, yet effective tool in helping children that really doesn’t cost a lot at all. Every bit counts when it comes to raising a healthy child.
Market Based Solutions
Future Fortified is a new kind of philanthropy. Funds raised from individuals are leveraged as
investments, helping local partners build capacity to increase the supply and availability of home nutrition packets as well as educating people on their use and the importance of proper nutrition. Because these packets are produced and sold locally at a price mothers can afford, the solution is sustainable for long-term impact. It’s an effective way to fortify the future.

This is very important to us. I am surprised at how many products that we were purchasing in the store, thinking they were healthy and contained nutrients that we needed for our children, only to find that they were full of “bad stuff” that could possibly hinder our children’s growth and health. Knowing that what I am feeding my children is healthy and helping them to become healthy adults is important to my husband and I. We were happy to jump forth and take part in a campaign that is concerned about the health of our youth.
