The impact of our work

The goal of the ChildInvest Foundation is to provide long-term support to disadvantaged children and young people in over 130 countries. In this respect, what matters most are solutions that are effective in the long term. Our goal is to provide support to young people and their communities so they can actively shape a self-determined future. It is therefore particularly important to us to regularly assess the quality of the SOS Children’s Villages projects we support around the world. The results help us optimize our projects while ensuring transparency for our donors at the same time.

The new standard for measuring impact: SROI

We use the Social Return on Investment (SROI) as the key indicator for the effectiveness of our work. This measures and quantifies the social, environmental, and economic value of our project work. An impressive example of the lasting impact of the work we fund is the SROI of the projects in Ethiopia and Swaziland: every euro invested there generates a benefit of four and six euros, respectively.
