Impact and reports
Measured against five targets.
Every program has a number attached. We publish our progress after each academic year, so you can see exactly what your support changes.
Where we are starting
Results in the Sisaala area have fallen far behind
In most Sisaala classrooms there are too few books, too few role models and too few reasons to stay in school. These are the numbers our programs set out to change.
