DRIVEN BY IMPACT
Educate! Scholars earn nearly
DOUBLE the income of their peers.
Educate! evaluates our impact through rigorous external evaluations. By 2015, we had grown the number of students reached by nearly 10x since our RCT (randomized controlled trial); so from 2015-2017, we conducted a quasi-experimental evaluation in partnership with BRAC to better understand our impact. The evaluation combined difference-in-differences with propensity score matching to estimate the impact of the Educate! Experience program at scale.
The results demonstrated that even as we've dramatically increased the number of youth we reach, we continue to achieve similar impact for participants of our program.

The quasi-experimental evaluation results demonstrated that
our model continues to make progress towards closing the gender gap,
with an even larger relative impact on girls as compared to boys.
Girls earn 244% more than peers who did not complete the program and have a 91% increase in business ownership.
