The mission of ECOLI is to enable, empower and enhance the capacity of marginalized groups by linking them with development opportunities and the social components necessary to alleviate the pernicious effects of poverty.
Through this mission ECOLI promotes Early Childhood & Care Development (ECCD) programs from birth to age eight, imparting knowledge and skills on positive childrencare-giving, pre-primary education, and the overall development of small children.
Elimu Community Light (ECOLI) is non-governmental, non-profit community based organization dedicated to the empowerment of marginalized groups in Arusha and the nation of Tanzania. Our overall goal is to build the capacity of vulnerable groups so they are able to liberate themselves and overcome obstacles hindering their development as individuals, as well as the community and nation as a whole. To accomplish this our organization relies on Early Childhood Development and Care (ECCD) programs where communities are taught to understand the value of investing in youth from the earliest stages of life and obtain the critical skills necessary for positive childhood development.
Our belief
We are guided by two key beliefs: (1) The developing nation depends on the education, development and skills of its citizens, and (2) the foundation of adulthood is built in early childhood. These two beliefs drive ECOLI in aiming to support and develop young children not just for their own sake, but for the sake of the of Tanzania and the future generations of its citizens. If the critical cycle of disease, ignorance and poverty is ever going to be broken, it needs to start with a solid investment in the future. It is through this way that ECOLI undergoes its primary activities and strives for quality, affordable and accessible programs and services for local communities.
