IMA World Health works in some of the world’s most fragile places where poverty, conflict or natural disaster create ongoing challenges, especially for the most vulnerable. To achieve our vision of health, healing and well-being for all, the first thing we must nurture in the communities we serve is resilience.
Resilience is often revealed in the more subtle aspects of our work—training, empowering, developing and strengthening change day by day. Sustainable change is an investment. Resilience is the ability to overcome challenges and continue moving forward, and it is priceless.
With this in mind, we are sharing IMA World Health’s Annual Report for the 2017 fiscal year. While we’ve served an incredible number of people this year, we hope you’ll see more than that. Please take a few minutes to read about how IMA, with the generous support of donors like you, is building resilience and creating lasting change for the people and communities we serve around the world.
Truly, you are such an important part of this work. Your support helps us turn our vision of health, healing and well-being for all into a reality!
From now until Dec. 31, all gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar by an anonymous donor. Please give generously to help us to deepen our investment for people in need—to continue meeting immediate needs while strengthening systems to overcome challenges long into the future.
