Program outcomes

What progress looks like beyond attendance.

TIDI tracks participation alongside learning, confidence, pathways, and partner practice.

Practical skills

Learners engage with digital tools, STEM concepts, and accessible learning activities designed around practical use.

Evidence tracked: Tracked through attendance, activity completion, and facilitator records

Confidence and participation

Sign-language-first delivery creates more room for questions, collaboration, and learner-led problem-solving.

Evidence tracked: Tracked through learner feedback and facilitator observation

Visible career pathways

Mentorship and career exposure help learners connect new skills with education, networks, and work opportunities.

Evidence tracked: Tracked through mentorship participation and next-step planning

Stronger partner practice

Schools and partners gain practical experience delivering or supporting Deaf-inclusive programs.

Evidence tracked: Tracked through partner engagement and program documentation

Beneficiary stories

The human context behind the dashboard.

These field insights avoid invented quotations and describe recurring program moments unless a consented individual story is supplied through Sanity.

When language access changes participation

Gombe learning session

When language access changes participation

Visual, sign-language-first facilitation allows students to focus on ideas, ask questions directly, and take a more active role in the room.

Turning career interest into a next step

Kaduna mentorship activity

Turning career interest into a next step

Structured mentorship helps a learner move from broad interest in technology toward a clearer goal, practical questions, and an achievable plan.

Inclusion grows beyond one classroom

Community and school engagement

Inclusion grows beyond one classroom

Teachers, families, and partners become part of the pathway when access is understood as a shared responsibility rather than an individual adjustment.

Transparency

What the numbers mean matters.

Headline totals are TIDI-reported figures supplied for this impact page. State details are temporary sample records used until approved program records are published through the Sanity Impact Report.

Current approach

Counts combine program records, attendance, outreach documentation, and partner engagement reporting.

Important limitation

Reach does not automatically equal a measured long-term outcome. Cohort follow-up and state records require continued strengthening.

Future goals

The next phase of responsible growth.

Growth means stronger evidence, deeper pathways, and more durable local ownership, not reach alone.

  1. 1

    Strengthen outcome measurement

    Improve cohort-level baselines, follow-up, consent, and disaggregated reporting without creating unnecessary data burdens.

  2. 2

    Expand accessible learning resources

    Develop reusable sign-language-first STEM and digital-skills materials for facilitators and partner schools.

  3. 3

    Deepen career pathways

    Grow mentor, employer, internship, and professional exposure networks for Deaf youth.

  4. 4

    Build durable state partnerships

    Work with local institutions to sustain accessible delivery and strengthen community ownership.
