Capable’s Theory of Change

Ending extreme poverty is a complex, multifaceted issue that reaches far beyond purely economic factors. Throughout our program, Capable’s Theory of Change focuses on key areas of personal transformation to ensure the long-term success of our graduates.

The key pillars in our Theory of Change are:

Wellness

Clients are physically and mentally healthy to cope with the challenges
of life.

Agency

Clients believe they are capable of creating their best possible future.

Connection

Clients experience relational and spiritual well-being.

Prosperity

Clients consistently earn above the extreme poverty line, diversify their income, and build their net worth to weather shocks.

By investing in one-on-one counseling and mentorship throughout our program — and closely measuring improvements or setbacks in these areas — our results have proven how a holistic approach can permanently end extreme poverty and increase overall quality of life.
