Future Fortified is a global campaign to help millions of women and children around the world gain access to the essential nutrients they need to lead healthy, enriched lives.
As I’m typing this right now I’m helping mothers and children all over the world receive proper nutrition, it really is that easy. I helping spread the word about Future Fortified which is a campaign of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). They help millions of women and children in developing countries get access to the essential nutrients they need to lead healthy, enriched lives. Their goal is to increase access to improved nutrition for 50 million women and children by 2015.
Nutrition fuels not only our bodies, but our minds. I’m passionate about ways to help ensure that every child has the sustenance they need to not only survive, but excel in life. So, I’m spreading the word.
One way Future Fortified is helping is by providing home nutrition packets for families. These packets cost about 3 cents each and just need to be sprinkled on your food. This allows the families to continue eating their local cuisine while adding the nutrients they are missing. This only needs to be done a few times a week. Such a simple tasks can help provide a child with everything they need to flourish and grow. Good nutrition is something everyone needs all over the world.
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.
