This report presents the quantitative findings of the Growth Beyond the Town longitudinal research study since its inception in 2012 up until the end of 2018. It describes the baseline results from 133 participants who were interviewed as they disengaged from Girls and Boys Town South Africa (GBTSA) and then presents their outcomes measured each year during follow-up interviews for five years. It also describes the resilience variables that predict better outcomes for care-leavers as they transition out of care over those five years.
