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.

Hours no longer spent gathering firewood or cooking over an open fire.
Almost 149 years of work, given back to the people who were carrying it.
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 means fewer respiratory illnesses and lower medical bills. Our earlier partners added research and treatment for rare and degenerative disease.
Climate resilience
Each smokeless kitchen replaces an open fire. Less wood burns, fewer emissions reach the air, and the forests communities rely on come under less pressure.
Time spent gathering firewood and cooking over smoke goes back to families. The programme also creates paid work in the community.
Livelihoods
Health costs saved → €265,298
Lower risk of health problems → 50%
People supported → 1,007
CO2 emissions avoided → 9,068 t
Forest wood preserved → 6,046 t
Smokeless kitchens installed → 760
Hours returned to families → 1,302,730
Household income added per kitchen, per year → €38
People in Nepal employed by the program → 7
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.
