We have just released our 2016 Annual Report, which details the changes and progress we made over the last year. Through your help and support, Impact Global Health Alliance Global reached over 100,000 people with lifesaving health education and services – programs that prevent the death of women and children living in remote communities in Guatemala, Liberia, Kenya, Bolivia, and Sierra Leone.

With your support, we empower and equip local leaders with education, health services, life-saving birthing attendants, and school programs. 2016 was no different in our mission to create hope through health. We are incredibly touched by the enormous amount of support we received in 2016 from supporters in Raleigh and around the country:
