Locally-led non-profits and the communities involved have the expertise and knowledge to tackle the social injustices in their local setting. These NGOs are the first to respond, last to leave, and are responsible for 70% of all impact in development cooperation. However, they directly receive only 2% of the total global aid budget.Imagine how much impact can be made, if locally-led NGOs would receive more than this marginal 2%! That is exactly our ambition!
Help us to promote iMPACT direct or one of the projects in your network in Kenya or abroad: https://impactdirect.eu/project/
We have brochures, website, socials, mailings present.
Let's brainstorm on what works best. For example, invite people to a presentation of one of our NGOs. Or sending a mailing around. Or you may have this other great promotion idea, that we can support, to jointly support the locally-led NGOs we are working for.
In turn, they work for people living below the poverty line in their communities, offering local sustainable solutions on income, food security & climate, and education. Currently we have reached 10,000 people in 5 African countries. In 2023, we aim to reach out to 15,000 people.

That is determinable by if your smart phone shows you in the park for how many minutes.
We aim to build an app that counts how many minutes in nature each week you have spent and reporting that back to the person. This is like step counts, but based on time in nature as walks through non-parks don’t count for the nature counter.

The ability to focus was not only recuperated by nature, but was even better compared to before going out into nature. A faster and more stable pattern of responding on the Attention Network Task Cognitive performance especially for self-perceived affect was found to improve significantly more after nature interactions compared to urban interactions. Overall, BDS ( backwards digit span) performance improved on average by 0.75 (SD = 2.11) points from pre- to post-nature interactions and 0.29 (SD = 2.19) BDS points from pre- to post urban environment interactions. Reduce the population prevalence of depression and high blood pressure by up to 7% and 9% respectively. A lower rates of depression and of high blood pressure. 3.9% decrease in pulse rate. Systolic blood pressure was lower (1.9% decrease). Diastolic blood pressure was lower (2.1% decrease). good reported health and high subjective wellbeing lower concentrations of cortisol, lower pulse rate, lower blood pressure, greater parasympathetic nerve activity, and lower sympathetic nerve activity walking leads to improved psychological state, reduced state-anxiety and perceived stress

Opportunity Details
Employ to Empower helps aspiring entrepreneurs on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside overcome barriers and develop their businesses. We work with dozens of entrepreneurs who do things like teach Indigenous crafting, do de-cluttering for seniors, collect human and dog waste from downtown streets, design jewellery, sell cookies, and more.Marketing is new to our entrepreneurs, and understanding social media marketing is a daunting task. Some are scared away from it entirely, others think they have to do everything all at once.
On November 16th, we'll be running an individual coaching session for 9 entrepreneurs, and 1 person from our own marketing team - to learn about social media strategy, and do an audit of their social media plans. Each entrepreneur will have done a previous session in October - but we hope an expert training session with a volunteer from Hootsuite will cement what they've learned, and take it to the next level.
We are looking for volunteers with knowledge and experience of a broad spectrum of social media, who care about issues of poverty, and about making things better in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside neighbourhood.
The session will be 60-90 minutes (depending on the entrepreneur's needs), and will see a volunteer paired with an entrepreneur to learn about their business, marketing strategy, and to coach them on the best social media (if any) for what they would like to do.
