ImpactHere Initiative

ImpactHere Initiative was born from a vision to expand access to knowledge and professional growth in the Angola community. It brings professionals from diverse fields straight to the people.

Sharing Knowledge and Empowering Communities.

How we work

  • Access to knowledge and expertise often out of reach due to limited local resources.

  • Direct engagement with professionals who can inspire and serve as role models.

  • Reduce the knowledge and opportunity gap between under-resourced communities.

  • Inspire ambition and long-term interest in education and professional paths.

Hear From Our Participants

“We had many topics, ranging from emotion management, oral hygiene, to the importance of saving during times of crisis. Regarding oral hygiene, we learnt that many diseases that spread through our bodies are due to poor care of our mouths. Another important topic for me was agriculture, which can benefit us in many ways, both directly and indirectly. This information will help us throughout our lives.”

Justo Candundo - Teacher

“The ImpactHere seminars were great, and the one that impacted me the most was the seminar on how to save during times of crisis. The importance of saving money, walking instead of using transport to save, and managing our finances. Also, how to escape poverty through agriculture, which has great potential as a financial path. Another topic was about oral hygiene, to avoid discomfort when talking to others, brushing three times a day, and visiting the dentist. I am grateful for the initiative and to the speakers who came here, because they brought us a lot of knowledge.”

Roberto Manuel -Student

“This project is very beautiful and brought knowledge to students, young people, and parents. The topic that marked me the most was the importance of saving during times of crisis. We learnt that we can save even with little — we don’t need a lot of money to start. We must stay focused and organised to achieve our goals through saving. Saving can start with 100 Kz or more. Another topic was about oral hygiene, where we learnt that there are proper rules for brushing teeth, cheeks, and tongue — something that surprised many, as we did not know the importance of taking care of our cheeks. We learnt a lot and really liked this initiative, with such valuable topics. It helps us a lot — students, young people, and parents who participate.”
