IMPACT
In order to understand the true impact of the JI model, an independent group put together a detailed analysis that compared the JI product with alternative methods. The analysis was based upon a 2014 vocational center in Uganda designed by the JI team. What follows is a summary of the results (the full report is available upon request).

We have the tools to change lives. Now we just need to do it.
Students and professionals are eager to work on humanitarian projects. We are able to provide the logistical coordination to make this opportunity available to them.
Each year tens of thousands of university students work on thesis projects. We aim to give each of them the opportunity to take on a real humanitarian project.
To inspire and train a new generation of humanitarians.
To provide efficient opportunities for industry professionals to work on humanitarian projects.
PROJECTSPONSORSHIP
Last year JI turned $56,000 in sponsorship into $640,000 in architecture and
construction services.
By coordinating students and professional volunteers, JI is able to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in services to humanitarian partners each year.
To pull this off we acquire project sponsors. Sponsors are businesses and individuals that financially support the development of a project. A $5,000 sponsorship enables us to invest 3000 hours, site visits, create detailed grant proposals and produce construction drawings.
