Impact data is gender- and age-disaggregated, captured at intake, completion and 12-month follow-up, and published annually. The Impact & KPIs dashboard in our financial model links social performance directly to financial sustainability — cost per beneficiary, self-sufficiency ratio and cash runway are reported side by side with reach and progression indicators.
