The WHEEL of impact

Every MTD initiative — past, present and planned — rolls back to one of five spokes. Together they form the WHEEL: a single, integrated lens through which we measure change.

  • HHealth & HungerNo one should sleep hungry.
  • EEnvironmentMend the walls of nature.
  • EEducationA child taught is a future earned.
  • LLivelihoodSkill is the surest ladder out of poverty.

One framework, every decision

If a project doesn't sit on the WHEEL, we don't run it. This keeps MTD focused, measurable and accountable.

Spokes that reinforce each other

A girl in our school (E) attends because her mother is earning at our sewing centre (L) and her family eats from our ration kit (H).

Measurable outcomes

Each spoke owns its own KPIs — meals, trees, women trained, children educated — reported transparently every quarter.
