GAIN is a Swiss Foundation with its headquarters in Geneva and was launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with partners, GAIN aims at making healthier food choices more affordable, more available, and more desirable. GAIN’s purpose is to improve nutrition outcomes by improving the consumption of nutritious and safe food for all people, especially the most vulnerable.

The ‘Healthy Diets for Everyone in Tea Communities’ programme is a sector-wide tea estates nutrition programme in Africa and Asia to improve the diets in tea communities. The program is a global initiative to improve nutrition in tea supply chains, especially in India, Kenya, Nigeria, Malawi, and agricultural supply chains in Ethiopia, India being the largest. In India, the program is being implemented in 110 tea estates in partnership with the Assam Branch Indian Tea Association (ABITA), Ecociate Consultants, Dharmalife Foundation, and Ethical Tea Partnership. The program is focused to improve awareness, access, and consumption of healthier diets among tea workers.
