Who We Are
Maak Impact's Story
Maak Impact is a Nonprofit Solution Design Lab. We are a design team that educates, consults, and develops problem solvers. We partner with nonprofit organizations, social ventures and social-focused companies, entrepreneurs, and donors to help them design better solutions to the problems they have set out to solve and to evaluate the REAL impact their current and new solutions make on the people they are serving.
Our team has years of experience designing products and services for large publicly traded companies to small custom products or services. We have come together to establish a nonprofit to teach these same problem-solving innovation principles and methodologies by partnering with nonprofits and social-good companies to design solutions alongside them as well as helping them to think differently and design human-centric solutions to problems along the way.
We launched Maak Impact in January 2021 and in the short time that we have been around, we have been able to work with, and begin to work with, a variety of social-good organizations and companies from around the world! We are currently raising funds to give business grants to refugee entreprenuers in the Kakuma, Kenya camp. We fund these entreprenuers so that they can lift themselves and their communities out of poverty through job creation, market creation, distribution channels, vocational training, and a more inner-dependent society.
