Impact is important because it signifies the positive difference made by actions, efforts, or initiatives. It reflects the tangible outcomes and changes that result from these efforts, whether in the lives of individuals, communities, or society as a whole. Impact helps to ensure that efforts are meaningful and contribute to positive, sustainable change, rather than just being a series of activities.   Making an impact is the results of the collective efforts of difference makers.

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives” 
Jackie Robinson
