98% of graduates of our programme in DRC reported saving a portion of their earnings compared to 23% at enrolment. This significant increase highlights the importance of a holistic approach to programming that incorporates financial saving as a pillar of building both social and economic power.
Goal 2: End hunger
No hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
67% OF WOMEN GRADUATES REPORT HAVING SUFFICIENT FOOD IN THE HOUSE
TARGET 2.1: BY 2030, END HUNGER AND ENSURE ACCESS BY ALL PEOPLE, IN PARTICULAR THE POOR AND PEOPLE IN VULNERABLE SITUATIONS, TO SAFE, NUTRITIOUS AND SUFFICIENT FOOD ALL YEAR ROUND.
Upon graduating from our year-long programme, 67% of women reported having sufficient food in the house in the last four weeks compared to 17% at enrolment.
Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages.
9% OF WOMEN PARTICIPANTS REPORT PRACTISING FAMILY PLANNING
TARGET 3.7: BY 2030, ENSURE ACCESS TO SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH-CARE SERVICES, INCLUDING FAMILY PLANNING, INFORMATION AND EDUCATION.
9% of graduates of our programme in DRC reported practicing family planning compared to 6% at enrolment.
Whilst this is a slight increase in the number of women practicing family planning, the percentage of women is still low at graduation.
Our interpretation of this data is that contraceptive use in DRC is generally very low (demonstrated by the 6% datapoint at baseline), so for the women we serve (the most marginalised in the community), a 9% endline is positive improvement.
Goal 4: Quality Education
Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning
84% OF SCHOOL-AGED GIRLS (5-17) YEARS IN SCHOOL
TARGET 4.1: BY 2030, ENSURE THAT ALL GIRLS AND BOYS COMPLETE FREE, EQUITABLE AND SECONDARY EDUCATION LEADING TO RELEVANT AND EFFECTIVE LEARNING OUTCOMES
84% of school aged girls related to women enrolled on our programme were in school at graduation in comparison to 74% at enrolment.
*This year we have changed our approach to collecting data on girls' education to provide us with a more accurate average. Therefore, this year's data on girls' education should not be directly compared with previous years.

14% OF WOMEN REPORT BEING INVOLVED IN DECISIONS ABOUT HAVING MORE CHILDREN

14% of women graduates of our programme in the DRC reported being involved in decisions about having more children compared to 5% at enrolment.
As mentioned for Goal 3, our interpretation of this data is that very few women are involved in decisions about having more children in the DRC (demonstrated by the 5% datapoint at baseline), so for the women we serve (the most marginalised in the community), a 14% endline is positive improvement.

“I am very happy to know that the law does not exclude people living with disabilities because they are victims of discrimination in their families, and I suggest talking about it with many other people so that everyone understands that people living with disabilities have the same rights as everyone else and they deserve special attention due to their status."
