Global Aid Network (GAiN) is a worldwide humanitarian relief and development organization, based in Langley, BC, dedicated to bringing hope and tangible help to the poor and the suffering. GAiN’s mission is to "reveal hope by sharing God's unconditional love and restore life by demonstrating the gospel through compassionate action to those who are living in poverty, injustice and crisis around the world".

The Water for Life Initiative provides clean water through funding the construction of wells, as well as hygiene and sanitation training to people in Benin, Tanzania, Togo, Ethiopia, and Thailand. The Relief & Development program provides disaster relief and support for refugees and orphans. GAiN’s programs for children focus on providing basic necessities, education, counseling, spiritual care, and assistance for children with special needs.
