SROI

When you invest in stocks, you measure returns through ROI. With The Stuck Market, your investment creates SROI — Social Return on Investment.

Every investment in a child's education creates immeasurable results: brighter futures and meaningful opportunities for them, and a stronger society for you and all of us.

The Stuck Market model translates a student's progress into quantifiable social value you can track.

How SROI is Calculated →

SROI = Total Social Value Created ÷ Total Investment Cost

SROI measures how much social value is created for every peso invested into the child's education.

Total Social Value Created refers to the outcomes of a child's education, including its social impact and contribution to society.

Total Investment Cost refers to the total amount donated toward the child's education.

For example, a student receives PHP 60,000 in educational support from an investor, representing the Total Investment Cost.

As a result, the student becomes a public school teacher with an annual salary of PHP 372,000, contributing to the Total Social Value Created. Beyond his earnings, he teaches approximately 150 students each year, creating additional social value through education. He earns the amount invested in him in just 2 years, and gives back to the Philippine economy throughout his career, resulting in a legacy SROI.

The transformation creates a social impact, turning social debt into social value.

▲

A spike in SROI indicates meaningful progress toward making a positive contribution to society.

▼

A drop in SROI reflects obstacles that may slow a student's progress and signal a need for support.

KIV: DONORS didn't just give Php 60,000 to a kid. They funded a Public Servant.

Today, KIV is on the front lines, teaching more than 150 kids a day. The investor is essentially the Silent Founder of every classroom KIV leads.

That is a Legacy ROI that never expires.

Net position = Cumulative pesos contributed back (Income tax + VAT) minus cumulative program investment. Data is modeled at monthly resolution. Timeframe buttons zoom the recent window: 1Y, 3Y and 5Y show one book per month within that window; ALL shows the full life, one book per year.

SAI taught me not only academics, but also leadership, confidence, compassion, and service to the community.
