CEO STATEMENT
At ELINDE, we envision a world where every vulnerable and marginalized female child and youth has the opportunity to thrive. We are committed to transforming their lives by providing holistic support in quality education, health, nutrition, and livelihoods.
Through our work, we aim to empower these young changemakers to break the cycles of poverty, inequality, and violence. We believe that by investing in their futures, we can create a brighter, more just world for all.
