Blacksmith Institute

Vision, Mission & Values

Blacksmith Institute is an international not-for-profit organization dedicated to solving life-threatening pollution issues in the developing world. Blacksmith works to identify and clean up the world's worst polluted places, focusing on areas where human health, especially that of women and children, is most at risk. Since 1999, Blacksmith has completed over 30 projects and is currently engaged in over 40 projects in 19 countries. Blacksmith's goal is the elimination of life-threatening pollution - a global killer affecting over 100 million people. A key strategy is the creation of the Health and Pollution Fund (www.hpfund.org) Blacksmith Institute is also known for its annual World's Worst Polluted Places reports (www.worstpolluted.org) and for the Blacksmith database, the only resource of its kind, which currently documents over 600 of the world's worst polluted sites.
