our impact

Going to scale

The ELMA Foundation’s support can best be characterized by focusing on scalable and potentially transformative and sustainable initiatives that can assist the greatest numbers of children. While in the early days of our programming we may have supported an individual early childhood development (ECD) project, ideally going forward we seek to take such efforts to scale.

Our Impact

Through its major funding for Education and Health programs to assist children and youth in Africa, the ELMA Foundation has reached well over one million young people and families in need.

Learning and Sharing

We aim to magnify our impact by continuing to focus our strategies in each program investment area; engaging in strategic funding partnerships with other funders; and measuring, sharing and learning from both our success and failures through our research, monitoring, and evaluation unit.
