In the Fall of 2019, our native Kenyan leaders began Surveying the Wives of our graduates during course graduation ceremonies. A few of our field-experienced native men and women whose families had been changed through our Core 300 Program. The result was 5 simple Rater Statements that best describe the native definitions of a virtuous, kind, responsible, African husband, father, and provider.
Survey Group A: Wives whose husbands had graduated from the Warrior course only
Survey Group B: Wives whose husbands had graduated from both the Warrior and the Priest.
Realized Cumulative Power of Wife-beating Change for Warrior only, and Warrior and Priest Combined
Warrior Only 89% average Improved reduction of GVB
Warrior and Priest/Much improved reduction of GBV to 98%
Summary
Frequency: By random selection, we continued to survey wives of more recent graduates from two groups:
In 2020-21, and again in 2022, and again during Q1 2023
Quality of Change (QOC)
Overall, the average quality of change ratios between the “much improved” in Group A vs. the “much improved” in Group B were dramatically different (80.5% much improved vs. 51% much improved) underscoring our question of building cumulative power–amplifying positive behavioral changes in their husbands.
Board Member’s wives began to administer confidential, live-translated (English-to-Swahili) surveys to 579 randomly selected wives of the 37,000 men who graduated from both the Warrior and the Priest courses.
Comparative data strongly indicated the importance and necessity that both The Warrior and the Priest courses be completed to maximize both the delta of change, and the quality of that change.
The results surprised even the most optimistic of us!” –Rich Burton, former Board Member, Survey Creator
“It is clear from the data that these men were not only telling us that their lives had been transformed–but their wives–who rated the 5 rater statements were just as liberal, validating the reduction–or even the elimination of previous toxic, irresponsible, and violent behavior that pre-existed before our training.” –Rev. Alex Achuti, Secretary and Co-founder, Principle Based Leadership, Kenya
Before and After
For simplicity’s sake. one survey covers both the before and after delta by asking each graduate’s wife to rate each of the 5 rater statements (l) on a scale of 1 (much worse than before) to 5 (much improved than before)

“Before the Warrior course, my husband was a Monster. Our bags were packed to leave forever when he came home from the Core 300 Warrior course–his face was smiling–a healed husband and loving Father! God had finally answered my prayers.” – Juliet Mudavadi
