IMPACT MEASUREMENT & MANAGEMENT (IMM)
Every figure on this page traces back to a project, a partner and a verification document. Where we cannot evidence something, we do not claim it.
Impact that multiplies.

Where we work
Systemic hotspots.
We work with communities in lower-income countries, which are among those most affected by unjust and exclusionary systems. In these contexts each euro can achieve greater and more systemic change.
Our strategic priority is to work with grassroots organisations, especially women-led ones, at the intersection of poverty alleviation and climate resilience.
Areas of impact
Three areas that reinforce one another.
Health, climate resilience and livelihoods are not separate problems, and our work does not treat them separately. One smokeless kitchen changes a family's health, their income and the forest around them at the same time. So we measure each area on its own terms rather than dividing people between them.

Health
Cleaner air at home, fewer respiratory illnesses, and lower medical bills for households living on very little.
Climate resilience
Replacing open-fire cooking, cutting emissions and taking pressure off the forests communities depend on.
Time returned to families, income added to households, and local employment created by the work itself.
Livelihoods
Health costs saved → €265,298
Lower risk of health problems → 50%
Blood donated → 118.5 L
People supported → 1,007
CO2 emissions avoided → 9,068 t
Forest wood saved → 6,046 t
Smokeless kitchens installed → 760
Forest wood saved per kitchen, per year → 60 m²
Firewood harvesting time saved → 970,118 h
Cooking time saved → 332,612 h
Local people employed by the programme → 7
Meals provided → 3,233
AWASUKA
A community-led programme replacing open-fire cooking with improved stoves. We measure and manage its impact alongside the AWASUKA team who run it.
Most of the change on this page comes from here. It is also the clearest evidence for why we refuse to separate our areas of impact: one kitchen moves health, income and forest cover at once.

How we measure
Numbers you can check.
Small organisations are often asked to prove their worth with figures nobody can verify. We hold ourselves to the standard we ask for.
One results framework
Every activity is logged with a baseline, a target, an indicator and a result, so a number is never separated from what produced it.
A named source for each figure
Each result carries its means of verification: a financial report, a partner programme report, a donation certificate or an event record.
Figures move, and we say so
Our indicators are recalculated as programmes run. The numbers here reflect the most recent calculation, not a fixed historical claim.
We publish results, not forecasts
What we expect to achieve stays in our plans. This page carries only what has already happened and can be evidenced.
