Introduction
Elimika Foundation was established in 2018 as a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering youth and uplifting communities, particularly in the Rombo District. The foundation was born out of a pressing need to address the various challenges facing young people, including barriers to education, unemployment, and issues related to moral and social decline. Recognizing that many youth struggle after dropping out of school due to negligence, lack of guidance, and difficult life circumstances, Elimika Foundation set out to create opportunities for these individuals to reclaim their potential and build brighter futures.
The foundation firmly believes in the power of changing mindsets. Many young people feel that it’s impossible to succeed on their own. Elimika strives to dismantle this misconception by offering guidance, mentorship, and resources to help them realize their dreams. It also aims to provide moral support, life skills training, and practical tools like educational sponsorships and entrepreneurship seed funding to ensure their long-term success.
Over time, Elimika has broadened its scope to address wider social issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, teenage pregnancies, and a lack of meaningful job opportunities. By involving stakeholders, including local leaders, educators, and other organizations, the foundation aims to restore hope and direction among the youth and, in doing so, contribute to the overall development of the Rombo community and beyond.
Mission
The mission of Elimika Foundation is to empower young people and communities by providing them with the tools and knowledge necessary for their educational, social, moral, and economic development. Through its various programs, the foundation seeks to instil a sense of self-reliance, inspire innovation, and promote the well-being of individuals and society at large.
Vision
Elimika Foundation envisions a community where every young person is equipped with the education, skills, and moral values necessary to lead a productive, successful life. The foundation aims to be a driving force in eliminating youth unemployment, reducing social vices, and fostering an environment where all individuals can thrive through hard work, innovation, and community solidarity.
Elimika’s long-term vision is to see a society free from the shackles of poverty, addiction, and hopelessness, where youth and communities work together toward sustainable development, responsible living, and shared prosperity.
