Impact
Impact and results
How we expect our work to make a difference, and how we will measure it. Results will be reported here as our first projects run.
Theory of change
How change happens
For each pillar, we work from a clear problem to the long-term change we want, and measure each step.
| Pillar | The problem | What we do | What we deliver | What changes | Long-term impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Health | Preventable illness and costly care keep children out of school and adults out of work | Health sessions, referrals and research on health financing | People reached, referrals made, briefs published | People recognise warning signs and seek care earlier | Healthier young people who can learn and work |
| Education | Many learners, especially the poorest and those with disabilities, fall behind or leave school | Tutoring, learning materials, digital skills and research on inclusion | Learners supported, materials provided, briefs published | Better reading and numeracy; more inclusive schools | Every child learning, whatever their background |
| Economy | Young people and women lack skills, savings, mentors and finance | Training, savings-group links, mentoring and research on enterprise | People trained, founders mentored, briefs published | More saving, more businesses surviving and growing | Decent incomes and jobs for young people and women |
Research runs through every pillar: what we learn from projects goes into policy briefs and dialogues, and what we learn from research shapes the next project.

How we monitor and evaluate
- A baseline survey before every project starts
- Simple progress checks during each cycle
- Follow-up at six and twelve months for livelihoods and enterprise projects
- An end-of-project review, published on the project page
- Independent evaluation for larger projects, when funding allows
