Mosaic is a member of an international alliance called IMPACT. Members of the alliance are Mosaic and Bethesda Lutheran Homes and Services in the United States, The Bethel Institute in Germany, the Deacony of Northern Norway and Bethphage Great Britain.

  • Create and provide community-based, competence-oriented services for people with disabilities and their families.
  • Assist indigenous partners in creating strategies that promote inclusive societies and information campaigns that raise public awareness.
  • Increase the skills of service providers in working in partnership with governments to design and implement socially-inclusive public policies.
