How We Measure It
Counted in households, not headlines
We work where the roads run out. Our teams reach households directly — distributing, training, screening, teaching — so the numbers on this page are people our staff and volunteers met, not estimates drawn from a desk.
- Community-driven: programmes are designed with the communities that use them.
- Evidence-based: every outreach is recorded, and the records are what you see here.
- Accountable: a registered foundation, reporting honestly on what support achieves.
