Our purpose

Why we’re committed to help end hidden hunger for all

Malnutrition affects 3 billion people worldwide,  a crisis of astonishing scale that’s too often overlooked.1 We’re committed to contributing our expertise and resources to resolve this crisis and end hunger worldwide – and not only with the provision of Solutions for Essential and Equitable Nutrition. We campaign tirelessly with our partners to ensure that the global malnourished are SEEN, so that hunger is never hidden.

Now is the time for decisive action

We have an obligation to take immediate, meaningful action to provide cost-effective nutritional interventions and work together toward ending malnutrition in all its forms.

Let's make an impact! 

Introducing the Impact Song! By raising our voices together, this song aims to raise awareness of the global effect of inadequate nutrition. Plus, it encourages everyone to take the first step to make a positive impact to close the micronutrient gap – no matter how big or small.

How we’re making a difference

Transformative partnerships

From health systems to agricultural development, we’re committed to ending hidden hunger with our partners in governments, agencies, NGOs and the private sector.

Supporting mothers and babies 

We help improve outcomes for mothers and babies through advocacy programs and nutritional solutions, like multiple micronutrient powders, that can be mixed into food.

Fueling workers and employment

From nutritional education to subsidized fortified foods, we support workforce nutrition programs that make nutritious choices accessible to workers across sectors.

Championing school feeding 

We advance school feeding programs that provide access to nutritious meals and create micronutrient premixes and fortified foods tailored to local tastes and needs.
