About US
Bringing Lasting Change Whilst Meeting Urgent Needs
In every country of operation where the Elnet Technologies group of companies are operational, Elnet Foundation is present. We are currently working in Ethiopia, and planning for starting up initiatives in Kenya and South Sudan where our donating partners under Elnet Technology are present.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
We see every person, place, and animal as a creation of God. When sin entered the world, brokenness followed. We see it as our duty to restore what can be restored in the physical environment and to support those in need.
Our Mission
Extending God’s love and care to a suffering and broken world in order for the creation to become healed and living up to it’s full potential, by:
Enabling people to live life in safety and dignity, with focus on most vulnerable and neglected groups
Restoring and protecting vulnerable and degraded environments where humans dwell
Caring for animals as good stewards of the created
Support initial emergency response in areas where Elnet Technologies companies are present
Support, guide and audit the Elnet Group of companies on their performance to live up to their ethical commitments on key areas (Environmental, Social and Governance)
Our History
Elnet Foundation is the Corporate Social Responsibility Branch of the Elnet Group. We have more than ten companies under Elnet Group that contributes 5 % of their income to our Foundation, which enables us to do development work which both aligns with the business operations of our supporting companies, as well as standalone projects. We do not implement projects of our own, but work with a number of experienced partners who contributes with their expertise and years of experience. We are currently registered in Ethiopia under the Agency for Civil Societies Organization. We are planning to start programmes in other countries where our donating partners under Elnet Group are present.
How we are different
Our uniqueness lies not only in piloting new innovative technology solutions in our countries of operations; we also intervene with flagship projects that have not been done by anyone else in the countries where we operate. We aim to set an example for other companies to follow suit in taking their social corporate responsibility to a new level and to see countries develop out of their own resources; financially, human resource-wise and by the God given potential in the environment we live. We are currently registered in Ethiopia under the Agency for Civil Societies Organization. We are planning to start programmes in other countries where our donating partners under Elnet Technologies are present.
