What changed, and what it cost.
Programme updates, notes from the field and decisions the board has taken. We post when something actually changes, including the changes that made the work more expensive.
Earlier updates
Accountability
What two years of attendance registers actually showed us
Girls do not announce that they are dropping out. Comparing termly registers against household visits changed how we spend the education budget.
Field note
The wet season roughly doubles what a ride to the health centre costs
A transport voucher that covers a delivery in February does not cover the same journey in August.
Announcement
Why we turned down funding to open in three more districts
An offer to expand arrived last year. The board said no, and the reasoning is worth publishing.
News here, households next door
News is what the organisation did and decided: a screening round moved earlier, a budget line shifted, an offer of funding turned down. It is written about us.
Stories are about the households the work is for, told one at a time and published with the consent of the people in them.

Fortnightly screening, seasonal vouchers and two-week tracing all cost more than the versions they replaced. Regular giving is what makes that choice possible.
