Program Results

We measure the impact of all of our programs through a participatory monitoring and evaluation (M&E) methodology that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection with collective learning and reflection. We invite the full and meaningful participation of community members into the sense-making, including those engaged in our programs directly and indirectly.

Since we began programming in the USA in 2019, we have measured the following outcomes in the people and communities we serve:
