Who is GAiN?

There are 4.8 billion people in the world in developing countries. Three-fifths lack basic sanitation, almost a third lack access to clean water, and a quarter don't have adequate housing. Right now more than 5 million people are homeless as a result of a natural disaster. Turn on any television channel. Read any newspaper. War. Flood. Famine. Everyday we awake to a crisis somewhere in the world. Who will help the family forced from their home? The starving child squatting in the street? The mother sifting through the rubble? So many needs. So much pain. How can one person? Even one agency? Possibly make a difference?

...three are stronger than one.

Global Aid Network, (GAiN), exists to demonstrate the love of God - through word and deed - to hurting and needy people around the world through relief and development projects. Whatever the need, be it food, shelter, medical supplies or development assistance, GAiN innovatively links individuals and groups worldwide, sourcing critical commodities and mobilizing people for an effective response.

GAiN helps to eliminate the duplication of services amongst aid organizations by cooperating and working together with like-minded agencies. We believe in the unity of strengths and resources of each partnering agency into a single, efficient, global effort.

GAiN Canada is committed to helping those in need around the world. Through their network of staff and partners, they are always looking for creative ways to get the job done.

Our partner in Europe, GAiN Germany, provides acquisition and transportation of humanitarian aid supplies to countries throughout Europe and parts of Asia and Africa.

GAiN Latvia, the latest addition to our team. Recently they purchased a big piece of land to build a warehouse for distribution of humanitarian aids.

GAiN USA , our partner in the U.S., helps to mobilize and facilitate resources for our projects around the world.

Global Aid Network is willing to go where it needs to go and do whatever it takes to bring relief and hope to the suffering. GAiN's key areas of focus include the following:

Reaching leaders: Merely delivering aid is not always enough. Often the ground must be prepared first by forming relationships with government leaders and other key decision-makers to foster an atmosphere of openness and trust before aid or development work can begin.

Emergency Disaster Response: Turn on any television channel. Read any newspaper. It seems like every day we awake to a new crisis some where in the world. Global Aid Network is always ready to mobilize resources when disaster strikes.

Ongoing Disaster relief: Immediate response to disaster while important is not the whole story. When people are displaced from their homes through conflicts or natural disasters they need ongoing support as they work to rebuild their lives. Global Aid Network strives to ensure that people continue to receive aid long after the crisis is over.

Development Aid: Long-term economic development is the key to building stable, sustainable societies that are better able to withstand the shocks of war and strife. One of Global Aid Network's key mandates is to share the technology of developed nations with people from developing countries.
