The Child Status Index model is used to measure wellbeing across multiple areas including health, education, nutrition, shelter, protection and psychosocial. This provides a mechanism for identifying any necessary referrals to specialist providers which are facilitated by Kick4Life. A tailored diet is also developed for the participants which is designed to support their overall physical and mental development, and often to overcome malnutrition earlier in life.

Progressions

What they say: They use netball and sport as a way of empowering girls through a pyramid of personal development, social development and economic development. The journey starts with a wide reaching sports programme for teenage girls, who can then progress through being peer mentors until they become coaches. These programmes increase their confidence and aspiration. The girls then teach their mothers about health issues such as HIV/AIDs and as they become economically successful this brings about the respect of their fathers and further opportunities for personal as well as community development. As Coaches the girls become role models for other particpants encouraging and supporting their ambition.  Analysis: This tackles the gender imequalities, and cultural practices of early marraige and reduced education for girls, by encouraging girls ambition and confidence. The idea is that the girls take their new skills and begin to influence their own families, creating adult allies who encourage their development.  As the programme iterates and embeds within the community, the success of the individual girls and the economic and health benefits of the programme are demonstrated to the wider community, leading to greater uptake and a gradual cultural change.
