Significant Impact
About us
Compassion in action. Hope for every community.
Who we are
Community Significant Impact Charity Organization (CSICO), known as Significant Impact, is a faith-inspired humanitarian organisation. We are committed to supporting individuals and families experiencing hardship, including children and other people facing difficult circumstances, such as widows and widowers, older people and people who are homeless. Our previous outreach activities reached community members of different ages. We do not currently operate dedicated children's services.
CSICO is a sister organisation of Complete Grace Crusade, and the two work hand in hand to meet both the spiritual and the practical needs of people facing hardship.
Inspired by the love of Jesus Christ, we serve everyone in need regardless of faith, ethnicity or background. Help is never conditional on belief or religious participation.
Our mission
To serve people and communities in need through compassionate, faith-inspired humanitarian action, providing practical support that restores dignity, brings hope and transforms lives.
Our vision
A world where every person, regardless of circumstance, has the dignity, support and opportunity to thrive.
Our values
Compassion
We begin with the person in front of us, and respond to what they actually need rather than what is easiest to give.
Dignity
Nobody should have to trade their dignity for help. We ask only what we need to ask, and speak about people as we would want to be spoken about.
Integrity
We do what we said we would do with what we were given, and we are honest when we fall short.
Community
We work alongside communities, not over them. The people closest to a need usually understand it best.
Service
We are here to be useful, not to be seen. The work matters more than the credit for it.
Sustainable impact
We judge our work by whether it lasts: a water point that still works, a family that no longer needs us.
Our approach
Practical first
We focus on what would make the most difference to daily life: food, clothing and practical help, as at our past outreach events, and planned work on affordable essentials, clean water, light and sanitation.
Built to last
We intend to plan for what happens after a project ends, so that anything we build keeps working and what we start can continue.
Together with others
We work with volunteers, community groups, churches and humanitarian organisations, because no single organisation can meet every need.
Honest about evidence
We publish figures and outcomes only once they are verified, with their source. Until then, we tell you what we are aiming for.
