Our latest external evaluation results show that 4 years after Educate!, our graduates are better off than their peers in key areas linked to improved life outcomes.

Among other benefits, Educate! leads to increased secondary school completion rates, more youth selecting STEM and business majors, improved soft skills, delayed fertility, reductions in risky behavior, and declines in intimate partner violence.

From what we’ve seen, this is the first evaluation in Africa to causally link soft skills to improvements in life outcomes related to education and gender.

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in partnership with researchers from the University of California-Berkeley, the World Bank, and Innovations for Poverty Action, to measure the long-term impact of our program.
