For every $1 invested in Zonta House, $4.47 of social and economic value is created.
Social Return on Investment (SROI)
Zonta House’s strong SROI is largely due to the significant value that it creates for women experiencing FDV.
Most of the value that Zonta House creates (77%) benefits the women that it supports. In 2021, Zonta House created $13,937,356 of social and economic value for 411 women – an average of $33,911 for every woman supported.
Achieving impact for individual women who have experienced FDV requires a holistic, person-centred, and staged approach.
Zonta House’s ability to support women to achieve the outcomes that they do, stems from its wrap-around, flexible, and individualised support.
Achieving impact at the systematic level also requires a holistic, person-centred, and staged approach.
Zonta House’s innovative ways of working fit this mould, which gives it the potential to contribute to this change both as a ‘thought leader’ in discussions on system reform and by conducting pilots for proposed initiatives.
