Invitation: Elimu Information Evening and Fundraiser in Toronto Sept 13

Elimu is a Canadian charitable organization whose name means education in Swahili. It began with a small gesture—paying school fees for two boys to be able to go to kindergarten. Founder, Nina Chung, initially covered project expenses from her personal finances to keep fifteen children and their grandmother from homelessness and to make sure the kids stayed in school. Twelve years later, Nina is still hands on in Kenya. She has invested startup capital at various junctures and continues to cover the charity’s administrative costs in Canada so that all donor dollars go directly into projects.
