Our impact

More than 2,000 people have trained here. This is how we count.

Every cohort is tracked against documented indicators and reported to the partners who funded it. What follows comes from our internal monitoring, evaluation and learning data for 2023–2026 — our own records, honestly kept, and not independently audited.

How we know

The standards we hold ourselves to.

These are targets, not results. Each one is measured after a programme ends, reported to the partner who commissioned it, and used to decide what the next cohort is taught.
