The impact of educating and empowering girls won't be immediately apparent or fully realized until new beliefs about the role of girls and women in African societies are passed down to future generations. 

In the meantime, based on our immediate goals and objectives, we collect, monitor and analyze relevant information that helps us answer two key questions

How efficiently we are spending our donor's money?

How dramatic of an impact are we having on our girls, their families, their siblings, the communities?

Some of these measurements are quantifiable, for others we rely on the evaluation of our staff, teachers and parents. See what we've done so far JOP 2009 Report Card

 Educational Outcomes- JOP tracks issues as basic as school attendance; to the number of scholarships awarded to the number of participants attending and completing post secondary education.

Access to Resources - we track how many computers and modems are distributed and the number of girls receiving computer training.

Life Skills - measuring life skills tracks the number of girls completing the Mpowerment camps to how many have completed community service projects.

Family Impact - we track the degree to which the family is involved in the girl's programs; from parent support group attendance to subsequent educational support of younger female children.

Effect on Community - this metric answers the question as to the degree of involvement of the community in our program. It ranges from tracking how many non-member girls are attending mini-camps to how much support is provided to the schools.
