Every child deserves to be loved, protected, educated, and given the opportunity to build a hopeful future. At Education And Life Foundation (ELF), we believe that children who have lost parental care, live with a single parent, experience extreme poverty, face disability, or remain trapped in cycles of exploitation should never be forgotten.
ELF works with vulnerable children and families in communities where poverty and limited resources place children at serious risk of dropping out of school, exploitation, neglect, or a life without opportunity.
Our work is rooted in compassion and Christian values, with a commitment to serve children with dignity, regardless of their circumstances.
Our response.
We provide continuous, long-term care to 35 orphaned girls, helping meet their educational and essential needs so they grow in confidence and prepare for a safe, independent future.
We support more than 500 students from single-parent families with tuition and supplies, and over 1,000 students from families experiencing modern slavery so education becomes a pathway beyond generational poverty.
We provide targeted educational and specialized assistance to approximately 120 children who are deaf, blind, or living with disabilities, ensuring every child participates fully in family, school, and community life.
The work, as it happens.

Our approach goes beyond temporary relief by addressing the root circumstances placing children at risk through education, family support, child protection, and compassionate care.
Protect

Educate
Classroom AccessSupporting children to remain in school and access meaningful, continuous educational opportunities.

Restore Hope
Dignity & Christian CompassionWalking with children and families with compassion, dignity, prayer, and practical support so they can look toward a better future.
“Every Child Matters”
“A child should not be defined by being an orphan, poverty, disability, family circumstances, or the place where he or she was born. At ELF, we see potential where others may see vulnerability.”
When a child receives education, protection, care, encouragement, and an opportunity to develop their God-given abilities, the impact extends far beyond one child. It strengthens families, transforms communities, and helps break cycles of poverty and exploitation.
