Karen Koros
Director, Impact World Community
A note from our Director.
Impact World Community was born from a simple conviction — that the future belongs to those bold enough to shape it, and that young people are already doing exactly that.
Everything we do is anchored in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We meet young people in classrooms, campuses, conferences and villages, and we walk with them — with knowledge, mentors, networks and the belief that they are already capable.
Our flagship, the SDG Impact Club, is my proudest work. Chapters now run across high schools, universities and communities in Kenya, turning readers into leaders. If you're reading this, you belong here. Karibu sana.
Mission
To empower communities by fostering awareness and action towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through education, strategic partnerships and advocacy — equipping young people with the knowledge, resources and networks to champion sustainable solutions to global challenges.
Vision
To be a leading global platform that drives sustainable impact by inspiring youth and organizations to actively engage in social development — a world where every individual is empowered to contribute to a sustainable and equitable future.
Our Way of Work
Youth-led. Impact-driven. Grounded in integrity, innovation and radical transparency — championing human rights and the dignity of every community we serve.
