The IMPACT Foundation
An RIBI Preferred Project |
IMPACT is an international programme to prevent and alleviate needless disability. All its projects
are run by local people who also contribute resources to ensure that the work is cost-effective
and appropriate.
The programme has already restored sight, mobility and hearing, or repaired cleft lip for over 630,000 people
and prevented a lifetime of disability for many thousands more.

IMPACT's objective is that no one should become or remain needlessly disabled through
disease, lack of knowledge or shortage of medical services. Its priorities
are to: |
| ■ |
Provide accessible surgery and early identification and treatment of disabling conditions. |
| ■ |
End hidden hunger caused by micronutrient malnutrition. |
| ■ |
Support safer motherhood and child survival |
| ■ |
Immunise against disabling disease. |
| ■ |
Help break the link between disability and ageing. |
The IMPACT foundation was selected as an RIBI preferred project by the members of
the RIBI General Council for 2006-2007. Throughout the year articles about the work
of the IMPACT Foundation will be posted in this section, illustrating the work of
the Foundation across the world.
