What it is

When Medair works in the field, lives change. With Verified Impact Assets, those changes are independently measured, certified by Common Good Marketplace, and made available for you to fund with your name permanently attached to the outcome. It is humanitarian giving you can see, verify, and stand behind.

How it works

Five steps from field outcome to verified asset.

The same evidence chain that funders, auditors, and regulators rely on, translated into a standard unit of measurement you can buy, hold, and report on.
1

Activities delivered in field.

Medair delivers across health, nutrition, water & sanitation, and shelter activities to restore life and hoe, and to reach people in the hardest-to-reach places.

2

Impact is modeled.

Real-world outcomes are calculated using evidence-based, third-party validated assumptions.

3

Outcomes are independently verified.

Each outcome and assumption is verified against an impact framework and certified by Common Good Marketplace.

4

Social value is unitized and priced (USD).

Each asset is listed at a price that reflects its cost-effectiveness in delivering real-world outcomes.

5

Fund the outcome.

You receive a certification statement recorded in your name on a public ledger — a permanent, auditable record of the outcome you funded.

Field Story · South Sudan

Real story and outcomes from the field

In South Sudan, Medair teams treat acutely malnourished children and deliver urgent healthcare to mothers in the hardest-to-reach places. These are the outcomes that become Verified Impact Assets — evidence-backed, independently certified, and traceable to a real life changed. Proof doesn't replace compassion. It strenghtens it.

FAQ

What is a Verified Impact Asset?

A unit of humanitarian impact that has already been delivered and independently verified. One VIA represents one additional year of wellbeing for a person. Funding it means backing a confirmed result and having it recorded in your name.

How is the impact verified?

Medair engages an independent outcome auditor, who evaluates the project activity data (patient records, signatures, thumb-prints...), the theory of change logics, assumptions and proxies used to calculate the 'social value'. Common Good Marketplace reviews every outcome and third-party verification before issuing a certificate and listing the asset on their platform.

Is this a donation or an investment?

It is a philanthropic contribution, not a financial investment; you do not receive a financial return. Charitable receipts are available.

How is this different from sponsoring a project?

Sponsoring a project funds work going forward. Verified Impact lets you fund results that have already been delivered and confirmed.

What is the Common Good Marketplace?

An independent platform where verified outcomes from Medair and other trusted organisations are listed, so funders can explore, compare and fund proven impact.
