Our vision is to give people the power to collectively solve the world’s toughest environmental, social and economic challenges by facilitating and praising positive impact, globally.
Our mission is to connect you with the people and projects that matter to you and facilitate positive change for both nature and society. We aim to provide you with the tools to make sustainable choices, measure your impact, and become a leader in sustainability.
It all started on the sunny campus of Stanford University where our team met with one shared goal: to fix our vague and broken methods of measuring and achieving sustainable progress. Coming from all sides of the world we clearly identified the issue with how the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals were- or were not- being implemented and monitored. Various questions lingered such as how far we were towards achieving goals and what needed to be done to get there. So, in the fashion of the Bay Area and with the Stanford mindset we decided to create an organization ourselves that would solve exactly those issues we identified. Through months of coordination and hard work we managed to create an idea that resonated with everyone we spoke to, and the further we kept pushing the more support we managed to find. Thanks to the many supporters and excited backers we are now where we are: fighting to bring tangible impact to the forefront of business practices, empowering individuals to act, and creating communities around the most important causes everywhere. We are dedicated to make impact the most important status symbol. We are dedicated to Global Impact.
Why do we do what we do? … Its simple! We want to make a real difference!
This is what we have achieved through our network of impact leaders.

Tatiana ensures Global Impact’s vision and strategic operations. Her background in sustainable development began at a young age. She is known as Zimbabwe’s youngest author in history; at eight years old she wrote the book The Lonely Tiger, which teaches children about global issues and how to work with the world rather than against it. After the book was published, 100% of the profits went to empowering children in Zimbabwe to access education.
Tatiana received her BA in International Relations at King’s College London. After gaining work experience with various NGOs she is now a member of the global council for World Merit; an NGO in partnership with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2016 she was invited to speak at the United Nations in New York, delivering a speech associated to SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
