Each day, 795&amp;nbsp;million people &mdash; one in nine &mdash; go hungry. Close to 2 billion people survive on diets that lack the vital vitamins and nutrients needed to grow properly, live healthy lives, and raise a healthy family. About&amp;nbsp;1.4 billion people worldwide struggle with overweight and obesity. That&rsquo;s more than the number of people who are hungry worldwide. In total, around 3.5 billion people &mdash; half the people on the planet today &mdash; are malnourished. The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is an international organization that was launched at&amp;nbsp;the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. GAIN is driven by the vision of a world without malnutrition. We act as a catalyst &mdash; building alliances between governments, business and civil society &mdash; to find and deliver solutions to the complex problem of malnutrition. Today we are&amp;nbsp;on track to reach over a billion people with improved nutrition &ndash; a goal for 2015. We focus our efforts on children, girls and women because we know that helping them have sustainable, nutritious diets is crucial to ending the cycle of malnutrition and poverty. By building alliances that deliver impact at scale, we believe that we can eliminate malnutrition within our lifetimes.
