The IMPACT Foundation works across 11 countries in Africa and Asia, taking wide-ranging action to prevent and treat needless disability, to promote health and as a consequence, reduce poverty.
The Randal Charitable Foundation’s funding focus with the IMPACT Foundation is a floating hospital in Bangladesh, which specialises in providing eye, hearing and mobility operations for men, women and children.
The IMPACT Jibon Tari Floating Hospital is the first-ever on-board hospital facility to support remote riverside communities, who would not be able to gain access to simple medical procedures, which may be debilitating their lives.
The charity’s vision in Bangladesh is to see a society free from disability and poverty where people are able to fully realise their potential. Their mission is to prevent disability, as an effective means for achieving their goal of poverty alleviation.
The IMPACT Foundation Bangladesh (IFB) started its journey in 1993 with the support of the late Sir John Wilson, CBE, DCL, the architect of the global Impact movement.
IMPACT brings together activities which already exist at international, national and community levels; with a focus on strengthening and extending them.
In 2020 the Foundation also agreed to an additional one-off grant to support 1,000 dis-advantaged women and babies during pregnancy and after birth, in Bangladesh.
