Impacc gGmbH is an innovative NGO that has been promoting social investments in sustainable businesses in Africa since 2020. With the aim of combating poverty and creating sustainable development, Impacc supports local entrepreneurs and creates jobs through environmentally friendly initiatives.
Impacc is an international, non-profit social business NGO founded in 2020 by Till Wahnbaeck, the former CEO of Welthungerhilfe, and Jochen Moninger. Based in Germany, Kenya, and Ethiopia, Impacc aims to revolutionize traditional development aid by directing social investments into local, sustainable businesses.
Impacc focuses on identifying and supporting innovative, local, and environmentally friendly businesses in Africa. These businesses have the potential to create jobs and opportunities for the poorest segments of the population. Impacc invests donations in these social enterprises, which generate revenue and become self-sustaining in the long term, rather than being spent once[2][4].
The mission of Impacc is to promote sustainable development in the poorest regions of Africa by combining the benefits of the market with a commitment to social change. Impacc believes in a world where all people have a fair chance to escape poverty. The NGO advocates for development aid to be seen not just as a one-time donation but as a long-term investment in the future[1][2].
Impacc is strongly committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Here are some of the key initiatives:
Impacc combines aid with self-generated revenues to promote sustainable development in regions where markets have not yet met basic human needs. By providing patient capital and capacity building, Impacc supports innovative founders in building businesses that create jobs and combat poverty[2][4].
