Summary

Railway Children has conducted this Social Return On Investment (SROI)
evaluation to help us understand the impact and achievements of our
intensive family work pilot project in Kenya, which aims to successfully
and sustainably reconnect street connected children with their families.
This is the first time Railway Children has used the SROI approach to
evaluate its projects.

The aim of the SROI approach is to identify which project outcomes create
the most value in the lives of a project’s key stakeholders. Outcomes are
given financial proxies to determine value for money, which differs from
the traditional approach of measuring outcomes against pre-determined
indicators.

By applying SROI to the pilot programme, we can calculate the project’s
value for money by articulating the social, economic and environmental
values created by the project, as expressed by children, families and
others. We can then use this information to inform subsequent projects.
