Our Impact

Real Change, Rooted in Community.

Impact is about transformation, empowerment, and trust. From learning and employment to wellbeing and advocacy, our work changes lives and strengthens systems. We are developing a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) framework to understand, evidence, and amplify the difference we make — with participatory, community‑led methods that feed learning back into practice and policy.
