Monitoring & Evaluation
We record the following information in a contact management database:
- A case file for each child as they communicate elements of their life over time.
- Meetings we hold with the parents/caregivers
We work in partnership with Ithemba Lethu, using their methodology and materials. This program has been evaluated by Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division (HEARD) which records the following conclusion: "This evaluation has revealed iThemba Lethu to be an intervention that is highly valued by the host community, with a range of important areas of success. Study results demonstrated success achieved by iThemba Lethu in building confidence and resilience amongst learners. There was also evidence of iThemba Lethu having been able to create a safe space for adolescents to explore issues around HIV and abstinence, particularly in the context of the difficult socioeconomic conditions in which they live. The iThemba Lethu programme is novel in the extent to which it embraces a wide-ranging approach."
An annual report will be prepared for submission by the end of November of each year.
