1 MILLION LIVES IMPACTED BY 2020
In 2015 we implemented innovation and digital resources for data collection and real time global data management. We leveraged quantitative and qualitative data to improve our decision making, our programs, and our future plans. Our focus on monitoring, evaluation, and learning has enabled us to quantify, in detail, the impact of our programs, both on the direct participants and the indirect who gain from knowledge sharing and positive influence. Behind each program vision is a thoughtful, analytical action plan identifying key performance indicators to ensure focus and results.
By 2020, we will directly impact over 250,000 young change agents and over 1 million through their influence, knowledge transfer, and community programs. We will change lives through geographical expansion, cross border East Africa partnerships, and influencing systemic change jointly with government organizations.

1) Girls’ Advancement Program: Studies have shown that girls’ education is one of the most cost-effective strategies for promoting development & economic growth. Our program introduces adolescent girls, their mothers & male peers to information on reproductive health & rights, puberty, hygiene, personal safety, & financial literacy. Our mother-daughter intervention model helps keep girls in school & promote improved health outcomes. 2) Accelerated Learning in the Classroom: The program provides teachers with Learner-Centered Educational Models, Intensive Teacher Training, and Digital & Low-Cost Resources with a focus on creating an engaging learning environment. 3) Leadership & Entrepreneur Incubator (LEI) Program: Teaching our three-pronged approach—Job Readiness, Entrepreneurship Skills & Personal Development— equips our young people with tools they need to plan & achieve a successful future. We partner with schools & community leaders to deliver 21st century skills to youth.

With the exception of our CEO & Global Program Director, our staff is comprised of U.S. volunteers & paid African staff. We have a Program Manager in each country who oversees all program coordination, daily operations, & strategic partnerships. Historically, we have operated as a lean organization, spending over 90% of funds on programs. Although, we’ve scaled programs within the communities where we work, two actions are critical to long term growth: 1) Strengthen Organizational Capacity - Develop staff members in KE & TZ for next levels of responsibilities, monitoring & evaluation expertise, fundraising & communication support. This ensures our attraction to donors, & partnerships with other organizations in East Africa. 2) Programmatic Expansion - Strategically expand into other East African countries with skills, resources, & proven education models that we & our partner organizations can contribute to. With your funding & support, we are confident we can accomplish these goals.

As of 2017, we have impacted 447,000+ lives. For other details and detailed indicators, please download our latest impact report at: https://asanteafrica.org/resources/

We have been successful in making an impact in the communities where we partner. Our opportunity is to secure the funding to expand these programs to additional communities in Kenya and Tanzania, and beyond.

With your funding and support, we are confident we can accomplish these audacious goals. Collectively we are “Transforming Worlds." Sometimes it's one child's world in Africa and sometimes it is our own. Come be a part of this amazing journey with us.
