It would be easy to run our programmes and simply count how many people showed up on a given day. We do something more deliberate: every household we support gets logged in a proper register, not just tallied as a number for that day's report.

The register captures who was reached, what kind of support was given, and roughly when a follow-up might be needed, whether that's a repeat health check, a mentorship session, or a welfare visit to a widow or elderly resident living alone. Without it, we'd have no real way of knowing whether we're reaching new households or repeatedly reaching the same willing few.

It's an unglamorous part of the work, but it's what lets us say honestly how far our reach actually extends, and where the gaps still are. Our Constitution commits us to transparency and accountability, and a proper register is one of the plainest ways we try to live up to that.
