Uzima in our Hands - Measuring return on social investment

Project:

Measuring return on social investment. Setting up a methodology to measure the impact of the work Uzima In Our Hands is doing.

Project description:

Uzima In Our Hands supports Uzima Orphan & Day Care Centre, which is located in the Samia district of Western Kenya.

The orphanage provides education, food and basic health care for local children who live in extreme poverty, many of whom are orphans.

There is an indirect link between the funds raised and the good work done by the charity so they would like to set up a methodology to measure the impact of the work they are doing.

The objective is to increase insight for the trustees by including this in the charity's annual report and subsequently to include it in grant requests.

A side benefit could be an evaluation of how financial reporting could be improved.

Time commitment: 5 days. 

Location: The work can be done remotely.

Information about the organisation: 

Uzima In Our Hands is an Isle Of Wight based Christian charity supporting Uzima Orphan & Day Care Centre, which is located in the Samia district of Western Kenya.

Here over 300 children aged 3-18 years are provided with a basic education and two meals a day.  Every child at Uzima has good reason to be there; many of them have lost one or both parents, often due to HIV/AIDS. They may also have HIV/AIDS themselves, Special Needs, health needs or live in abject poverty. Uzima's care means the extreme burden put on the families left to care for them is alleviated and the children and families have hope for a better future.
