Living Proof: Their Daily Bread
Millions of Egyptians suffer from poor nutrition, with side effects including birth defects and miscarriages. The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) started a program to fortify Baladi Bread – the staple food of Egypt’s poorest – with essential amino acids and vitamins that they weren’t getting.The results are impressive and one family’s newest member is living proof.

This is such a simple solution to such a complex problem. By adding nutrients to bread, even the poorest of the poor have a chance at healthy living. Really cool!
