Empower health workers to combat child mortality
Why we exist
"The GOAL 3 Foundation exists to allow hospitals who otherwise cannot afford it to still receive the life-saving IMPALA system. This ensures that the IMPALA system becomes available to even the most rural and under-resourced health facilities – saving hundreds of children's lives every year.”

Our mission is to improve the access to high-quality care for 100 million people, by enabling and empowering 1 million health workers by 2030.“
It’s impossible to save lives in an overburdened system
Every year 5 million children die before their 5th birthday. This is happening despite effective and affordable treatment often being available. Healthcare workers are overwhelmed due to a lack of adequate staff and equipment and are therefore unable to prioritize patient care. As a result, many children are admitted to hospitals, but simply cannot be treated on time to save them. Every hour delay in treatment of conditions like sepsis increases the chance of mortality by 10%.

Improved monitoring saves time and lives
With GOAL 3’s IMPALA system, health workers are able to proactively prioritize treatment, responding earlier to the worsening conditions. This reduces the severity of the condition, allows for easier treatment, and saves lives. Ultimately this decreases the workload of the staff so they can go from reacting to problems to being proactively in control. GOAL 3 partners with healthcare facilities to provide training, maintenance and ongoing support, ensuring the sustainability of our solution.

What people say
J. Chikwana
I have noticed a decrease of patients that have choked for unknown reasons in the ward. And now with the monitors we have a lot less patients that bounce back and forth between HDU and the general ward after stopping treatment because the monitors help us with de-escalation of care and monitor patients if they keep doing well after stopping treatment.

We didn’t have enough monitors in the ward. The coming in of the monitors has really improved in our care for patients. It helps us in fast assessment of children and recognizes early if patients are improving or deteriorating for prompt management.

Since the advent of the IMPALA monitoring system in our setting, we have had a lot of timely interventions done on children that were deteriorating. The monitoring system is efficient and time saving on this life saving journey!

A. Bengo
Working as a medical officer in one busy pediatric ward; the IMPALA monitors make my work tremendously easy. I have most of the vital signs for some of the very sick patients readily available from the monitors whenever I come to review patients. The monitors also allow me to check the trends of the vital signs over a certain period of time. This has reduced the amount of time we spend getting vital signs and also has improved the quality of the care we give.

The Process
Donate
You commit to donate to a monitor. A monitor costs €2500 upfront or €50/month for 5 years as a donation to the health facility via GOAL 3 Foundation. You can donate either part of a monitor, a full monitor, or multiple monitors.
01
Implement
Once you commit to a donation we will deliver and install the monitor to one of our partner hospitals. We then train all healthcare workers in its use and your monitor starts to make an impact.
02
Impact
The monitor will then be in use by the hospital, empowering healthcare workers and saving many children's lives. Your donation directly improves the quality of care for hundreds of children each year.
03
Report
You will receive a report about your monitor. The report will give you insight into the use of your monitor and allow you to see the direct impact your donation is having in the healthcare facility.

Frequently asked questions
GOAL 3 consists of two parts, a social enterprise and a foundation. The social enterprise operates because we believe that long-term change is a result of a sustainable business model that is not dependent on outside support. Additionally, we founded the foundation to increase our impact faster and support the implementation of IMPALA in hospitals that cannot afford it. The costs covered by the foundation are one-time costs for the purchase and installation of the IMPALA monitors. This means that GOAL 3 is not reliant on the foundation for continued operations. The foundation exists solely to accelerate and increase our impact.
Absolutely. Ideally, we encourage people to donate part of or a whole monitor, but if you want to support GOAL 3 with another amount you can enter the amount of your choice in the ‘other amount’ field of the donation page. You can donate once off or monthly.
We provide the average impact per monitor as part of the full project of IMPALA monitors in the specific hospital in which it is placed. This is chosen as monitors influence the total care of the hospital and its staff, so reporting on a whole hospital rather than individual monitors gives a better insight into the true impact the system as a whole is having.
Yes, you can, however, we can only guarantee this for bigger projects of multiple monitor donations as we do not implement single monitors in hospitals. If you would like to sponsor a bigger project please reach out to us. We are currently active in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Malawi but we are eager to scale up in the region.
Your donation covers for the largest sum the hardware costs of the monitor, but also includes transport, clearance, installation, training, as well as a percentage of the tablet and server. Lastly, depending on the situation of the hospital, the donation also covers the first years of service and software support to make sure that the project is sustainable.
To learn more about the IMPALA system, you can check out the product page on our website. There, you can also download our product brochure which details the IMPALA system in full. Should you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.
