The Maths
Together, we can multiply impact for more children.
Research has revealed what ONE Viva-supported network can achieve.
100 churches & organisations working together + Viva
=
16,000 childen receiving better care + 3,760 more children being supported.
In school, you’re always told to show how you worked out your answer - so how did we arrive at these numbers?
Each year, our network-partners complete a Network Health Check. Over many years, this provides a great picture of what these networks look like and what they are achieving for children. We therefore know that a typical network that Viva supports is made up of approximately 100 churches and community-based organisations. It is usual for each church / organisation to already be supporting about 200 children – that’s 20,000.
Research conducted by The Sagamore Institute revealed reveals that 80% of network members improve the quality of their programmes when they are part of a Viva-supported network – that’s 16,000 children receiving BETTER care. (80% of 20,000)
The same research also revealed that 94% will increase the number of children they work with, a 20% increase is a reasonable estimate - that is 3,760 MORE children being supported.
However, it’s get’s better!
This is not a one-off. Viva’s approach builds sustainability for the long term, so more children will be impacted year on year.
This is ONE network. We currently support 42 networks and want to be supporting 15 new networks by 2030.
As networks from around the world join together, facilitated by Viva, the multiplier effect is increased as networks combine their learning and resources.
