Our mission at
GNI Europe
Accelerate access to nutritious food for vulnerable communities worldwide
What we Do
By building a trusted, collaborative platform that mobilizes donations, partnerships, and innovation. With the establishment of our European office in The Hague, an international hub for humanitarian innovation, we are strategically positioned to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

By 2028, GNI Europe envisions becoming a well-recognized food donation platform that connects donors, public and private organizations, and innovators across the EU to deliver science-based, fortified food solutions to those who need them most. Through strengthened partnerships and a growing network of impact-driven stakeholders, we are scaling up the delivery of ready-to-use, nutrient-rich meals to children and families facing food insecurity.
GNI Europe plays a pivotal role in advancing our global fight against hunger and malnutrition, harnessing Europe’s spirit of collaboration, innovation, and strategic centrality to drive real change. From the heart of the continent, we are building powerful partnerships and mobilizing resources to reach the most vulnerable populations, ensuring that no community—regardless of location—is left behind in the pursuit of food security and human dignity.
