Evidence-first updates
Updates include photos from the site, notes from partners, and milestones that can be verified. When appropriate, we include before/after comparisons and maintenance checks.
Transparency
Accountability you can verify
Transparency is mandatory at GIC. We publish clear allocation, project-level reporting, and outcome updates—so supporters can verify how ideas become action.
How resources are used
We track how resources flow from donors to on-the-ground delivery. Projects prioritize local labor and procurement, and we publish updates so the work remains accountable.

What impact reporting looks like
We aim for updates that are simple to understand and hard to fake — with evidence, timestamps, and partner confirmation whenever possible.
Clear milestones and spending
We document what was purchased, what was delivered, and what remains. This helps supporters understand progress without turning communities into marketing.
Community feedback
We center local voices through partner check-ins, consent, and feedback on outcomes.
Safety and permissions
We confirm permissions, responsibilities, and risk controls before work begins.
Maintenance checks
When feasible, follow‑ups check whether solutions are working and being maintained.
Note: We never require communities to perform for the camera. Documentation should serve accountability, not spectacle.
