MY IMPACT
ABOUT
Your fingerprint is a reminder…every time you look at it, think about what is #myimpact, everything you touch you have the opportunity to love and change for the better. Look at the ripples within your own fingerprint and think of the significance of the ripple effect of love and the impact that can be made globally, locally, and individually.
With this platform we hope to inspire people to think about what is myimpact on everything we touch.
Just like the ripple effect, as mirrored in the fingerprint, every single act carries on indefinitely and grows better bigger with each wave of contact. Just as each fingerprint is unique, and irreplaceable each individual’s effect on the world is as well. The ripple, carries on indefinitely and the reach gets broader with each new sphere of influence. How awesome To think of the ramifications of the ripple effect of love…your impact if it comes from a place of real love.
WE ALL LEAVE OUR MARK, OUR IMPRESSION, OUR TOUCH, OUR FINGERPRINTS ON OTHER PEOPLES LIVES, ON THE PLANET, THE ENVIRONMENT.
After a lifetime of working humanitarian response and impact, I am often asked, how did you begin?
Essentially, what was my impact journey.
I was six years old and it began with legos. Growing up in a tough neighborhood in South London I started using my legos blocks to reimagine better streets and parks, a more kid-friendly space to thrive. That fascination turned into a passion to create architecture and urban design for communities in need.
By the time I began working full time in the building industry I was responding to both conflict and natural disasters around the world. It started with asking a question, what if these legos could show a better world?
Decades later I am still asking those questions but now equally interested to understand other journeys of impact leaders and pioneers. A small group of like-minded individuals got together to create MY1MPACT and help discover and share ways to make an impact - and the journey to get there.
IT BEGAN WITH LEGOS
The My1mpact foundation believes in the power of many solutions. There is no silver bullet for our societal challenges. This platform is focused on highlighting the inherent value and the unique way that each one of us looks to change the world. We believe an individuals' impact is as unique as their fingerprint and therefore irreplaceable.
We are inspired to ask - what makes you different? What sets you apart? What are the beautiful intricacies of your ideas
and how you can change the world as a result?
By understanding the journey others have taken, we hope to inspire you to take that first step to discovery of purpose and start changing the world like only you can. The ripple effect only takes one person to bravely stand for a cause beyond themselves and create a positive change that can inspire an entire community. We support all acts big and small, knowing how a simple moment of kindness can change the world forever.
Our Values
My Impact is a project of The My1mpact Foundation, which believes in the power of individuals to make a difference in the world. The organization is looking to develop a network of like-minded people to come together to build a community that amplifies, supports and empowers those who want to make the world a better place. It is our hope that our community can experience the excitement that comes from helping and inspiring one another in the process.
The My1mpact Foundation is also connecting "boots on the ground" change makers with partners with resources and donations (be it monetary, time or physical supplies) that will help build a legacy of positive impact for generations to come.
Through our My Impact community we are excited to hear and tell your stories. Tell us how were you inspired and how you are inspiring others? Tell your story or tell the story of an unsung impact hero and help us highlight those who are invisibly, loving and impacting lives at home or abroad.
