Purpose

Pact delivers on the promise of a better tomorrow. The organization strives for a world in which every individual is in rightful control of his and her own future.

Mission

Pact ensures that people have the skills and resources they need and are healthy and economically prosperous. Pact also builds an environment for sustainable success.

Why

Pact is a nonprofit international development organization that operates in 40 countries to improve the lives of those who are challenged by poverty and marginalization.

Accomplishments

Child
Labor

In less than two years, Pact’s WIM project reduced the number of children in mining occupations by 89%.

Ethical
Mining

Pact has ensured that 90% of all Central African tin and tantalum is conflict-free.

Community Building

Through its work with gemstone miners in Tanzania, Pact achieved a 1:12 social investment ratio.

Current Projects

GIA Artisanal Gem Guidebook

Pact works with GIA to bring the guidebook, “Selecting Gem Rough: A Guide,” which is a new tool that aims to advance the colored stone and market knowledge of artisanal and small-scale (ASM) miners and mining communities where gemstones are produced.

Watoto Inje ya Mungoti (WIM)

Watoto Inje ya Mungoti means “children out of mining.” The program was adapted to keep children away from mining by enabling microbusinesses and connecting children to previously inaccessible opportunities in local procurement related to mining work.

The Gem Leadership Fund

This project advocates for social justice, including providing consultations for the reform of the Kimberley Process and implementing cutting-edge fieldwork to close the technology and market access gaps for artisanal and small-scale gem miners.


Pact is committed to serving communities who are challenged by poverty and marginalization. Among these are artisanal miners, who face a bevy of challenges preventing them from owning their future, while millions around the world enjoy the fruits of their labor—from jewelry to cell phones. Pact works in partnership with these communities, local governments and businesses to ensure that miners gain lasting benefits from the natural resources they painstakingly extract. Partnerships like the one with Pure at Birth, allow us to provide more artisanal miners with essential health, economic and safety programming.
