Our Story
ELIMU FOUNDATION
About Elimu Foundation is a non-Governmental and non-profit making Organisation established for the purpose of giving education support to marginalised youths and women as a way to social economic empowerment. Elimu is a Swahili Word which means Education and therefore Education Foundation. We believe in a wholistic approach to social economic justice and therefore we collaborate with other stakeholders to address policy barriers to quality education, employability, poverty eradication as well as children and gender violence.
Vision
To have a just society where economic and social policies benefit the marginalised groups mainly poor women, youth and children.
Our Mission
To act as the voice of the voiceless and mobilise resources to support the marginalised groups in the society.
Our Projects
Education Sponsorship
Education sponsorship for youths and women from marginalised societies to get quality vocational education to help them get jobs. In Tanzania 30% of women gets married before they are at the age of 18. Majority of these women come from economically marginalised societies and families. We have a lot of testimonials that giving scholarship to these women helped to totally emancipate them. Kindly join us to support one girl today.
Single Mothers Economic Empowermet Project
We organise workshops for single mothers, train them on business skills and give them business mentoring support. This includes products packaging, marketing and digital marketing. This project has a lot of insights as trainers and mentors encounters a lot of cases of gender violence which prevents women from achieving business prosperity. We therefore include issues of human rights and women rights, interpersonal skills as well as feminism approach to realise single mother empowerment.
Fighting Sexual Abuse In Schools & Higher Lerning
There are lots of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation cases in schools and higher learning. As technology advances a lot of women in higher learning institutions are involved with cyber bulling scenarios which affect the emotionally and sometimes lead to suicide. Elimu Foundation works with higher learning institutions to support them develop sexual exploitation policies, gender desks and support them to ensure a working gender responsive system.

Conservation & Nutritional Health
Tanzania is currently experiencing severe weather extremes as a result of a changing climate. Increased temperatures, prolonged droughts and erratic rainfall are resulting in significant impacts to public health and livelihoods, with climate projections indicating that the situation is expected to intensify (WHO 2018)
Increased drought is largely affecting public health, increase water scarcity, impacting food production and compromise poverty reduction efforts.
Elimu Foundation is currently planting trees along natural water sources to protect them. It is also distributing fruits trees
and vegetable plants in public institutions and rural villages to support nutritional health in the rural communities.
