IMPACT’s aim is simple – that no one should become needlessly disabled by disease, lack of knowledge or shortage of medical services.

Their international programmes prevent and alleviate needless disability. All of their projects are run by local people in touch with real need – they also contribute resources. This ensures that their work is cost-effective and appropriate.

They have already restored sight, mobility and hearing, or repaired cleft lip for almost 800,000 people and prevented a lifetime of disability for many thousands more.

There are now 14 IMPACT Foundations around the world. Each is autonomous but all are part of one family with the same aim – to prevent and treat needless disability.

IMPACT UK is entirely dependent on the generosity of its supporters; apart from some grants for their Tasty Team project in the UK, every penny is raised from individual supporters, community service organisations, schools, churches, companies and charitable trusts.
