The Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) is a large international network supporting organizations that care for orphans and vulnerable children. Each year, CAFO hosts a global summit in the U.S. with both in-person and virtual attendees, bringing together leaders from across their worldwide network.
CAFO needed a reliable way to capture feedback and understand the health of its large network of member organizations serving orphans and vulnerable children around the world. Traditional web-based surveys, sent over email, had low response rates and limited reach, especially given some of the challenging environments their networks operate in. This left the team without a clear picture of network dynamics across 40+ countries, especially during their large annual summit which is a key time for network engagement and data collection.
By embedding Simba into its summit programming, CAFO streamlined its annual network assessments. Surveys were deployed via WhatsApp links, QR codes, and group messaging, making it easy for participants and member organizations worldwide to respond. This enabled CAFO to run deep, multi-country surveys both in the lead-up to and during the summit.
With Simba, CAFO now gathers robust, annual insights into the state of its network. They can identify successes, uncover challenges, and even detect when responses may be overly positive - giving them a clearer sense of the truth on the ground. These insights help CAFO adapt its support strategies and strengthen its global alliance of orphan care providers.
CAFO uses Simba to run annual network-wide assessments across 40+ countries, giving them a clearer picture of organizational health and impact.
