We are committed to partnering for impact at scale.
OUR PROGRAM IS PROVEN TO END POVERTY
We prioritize rigorous evaluation in all we do. Our data sources include internal, external analysis, and reporting by implementing partners. All sources show consistent and robust impact that helps SBS entrepreneurs end poverty in their communities. In key metrics of economic empowerment like business ownership, sales, revenue, and income, we see significant gains.

WE PARTNER TO CREATE IMPACT AT SCALE
SBS collaborates with NGOs, governments, financial institutions, and faith communities to leverage the respective expertise of each partner through a social franchising model. SBS brings a world-class entrepreneurial training program with proven results, and partners bring local leadership and deep cultural knowledge of the communities they serve, amplifying their impact in the sector in which they work.
Transparent and truthful measurement and evaluation is critical to what we do and central to who we are. We invite you to learn more about our measurement and evaluation methods, analysis, and results.
THE DIFFERENCE SBS MAKES
FABIOLA & FOOD FOR HIS CHILDREN
Fabiola attended SBS training with Food for His Children. Now, she not only makes enough to care for her own family, but she also shares meals each day with children in need, proving that empowered women impact the entire community.
Tanzania
VIDA & ACTIVATE ACTION
As a loving mother, Vida could not leave her partner, even though he beat and raped her. She relied on his income to care and provide for her sick child. Since attending SBS through Activate Action, Vida is safe from abuse and violence.
Kenya
ASIMWE & KAGPWD
Living with cerebral palsy, Asimwe struggled to provide for her child. With the skills she learned from SBS through Karambi Group for People with Disabilities (KaGPWD), she now earns enough to comfortably care for her son and herself.

OUR PARTNERS’ MISSIONS ARE OUR MISSION.
Our partners represent a variety of missions, yet all share an understanding that poverty is exacerbating the issue they are seeking to resolve. SBS partners currently work to address 16 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
