Our Approach
Thabiti Alliance's approach rests on three integrated ideas — Stability, Dignity and Opportunity — treated as one model rather than three separate promises. Stability is the foundation that lets a family make progress rather than being repeatedly set back. Dignity means treating people as individuals with agency and aspiration, never as objects of pity. Opportunity means that removing a genuine barrier should open a realistic path forward, not simply relieve a single moment of difficulty.
This approach is deliberately paired with governance and transparency built in from the organization's founding, rather than added on later — see Governance
How a Case Moves Through the Model
Beneficiaries are not selected informally. Every case is intended to move through the same structured process, regardless of who identifies it.
- 1IdentifyA specific, verifiable barrier is identified — not a general condition of hardship.
- 2AssessA documented needs assessment is carried out against clear, consistently applied eligibility criteria.
- 3SupportSupport is proportional to the identified barrier, time-bound where appropriate, and delivered through the organization's own controls — never informally or in cash without documentation.
- 4MonitorFollow-up tracks whether the support actually addressed the barrier, not just whether it was delivered.
- 5LearnWhat is learned from each case feeds back into how eligibility, support and follow-up are designed going forward.
The Principles Behind the Process
These are the operating principles the model above is designed to enforce.
- A documented needs assessment for every case, not an informal judgment call.
- Clear, consistently applied eligibility criteria, so support is not distributed on the basis of who is known to the organization.
- Safeguarding built into every stage of contact with a child or family, not added afterward.
- Documentation at each step, so a decision can be reviewed and explained after the fact.
- Proportional support — matched to the specific barrier identified, not a fixed package applied to everyone.
- Follow-up after support is delivered, to check whether it worked.
- Financial controls, including that organizational funds move only through the organization's own bank account and that no single person can authorize a payment alone.
- Outcome monitoring — tracking whether barriers were actually resolved, not only how much was spent.
- Learning and improvement, treated as a standing responsibility rather than a one-time setup step.
The initial pilot in Kilifi County exists in part to develop and strengthen these systems at a scale where they can be properly tested — before any expansion is considered.
