We don't just deliver equipment and leave
Each project includes a lesson plan, contracted workload, attendance tracking for each class, dropout registration with reasons, and evaluations completed by the participants themselves. At the end of each cycle, the partner receives a report with all this information. The cases below are real, authorized by our partners, and presented with the figures from the execution reports.
Methodological note: we count those who effectively attended. The number of people served excludes registered participants who did not attend or dropped out, and comes from the attendance lists of each report. We prefer the smaller, verifiable number over a larger, imprecise one. How we measure impact →
