About GAiN

GAiN helps people who are in need, urgently or for a long time, to answer basic needs and, together with our partners, to give them the opportunity to build a future. We do this in a practical way, with heart and hands.

Five goals

GAiN offers worldwide relief and is able to respond quickly by offering emergency relief in case of a human or natural disaster when international relief is needed. GAiN partners projects in more than forty countries and we work worldwide with more than ten thousand volunteers. We structured our work within the following five goals:

• Mission trips: special and inspiring trips for both young and older people. You can help in a practical way, far away or close by, for example by doing child ministry, building, encouraging refugees or doing social activities. 
• Relief goods & Distribution: In our distribution center we collect and sort relief goods. We do regularly send these relief goods by transporting them to Eastern Europe or disaster areas. 
• Disaster relief: Whenever there is a disaster, GAiN can help by offering disaster relief and reconstruction. GAiN also has a DART team that can offer assistance. This team is specialized in offering emergency relief after a disaster and trauma relief. 
• Development aid: Through local churches and organizations we offer longterm aid, usually to marginalized groups in the society. We aim to work on a hopeful future. 
• Water for Life: Millions of people suffer a lack of clean (drinking)water. GAiN bores deep water wells in African villages. By doing this GAiN gives people access to clean (drinking)water. At the same time GAiN shares access to the ‘Living water’.

Strategy

GAiN implements their mission and vision by mobilizing people, collecting relief goods and recourses and to applicate this to our own projects and to support other projects. With this GAiN focuses on development cooperation for the longer term as well as offering disaster relief.

Finances

The work of the foundation GAiN is possible because of the donations that we receive. 90% of the donations goes to the goals of the organization. The other 10% is deducted for overhead like communication, fundraising and for organizing. The director of GAiN as well as the main part of the associates raise their own income through partners. GAiN doesn’t have a permanent office. Staff members work mainly through digital media, which is quite uninque. Learn more? Please cpntact us.
