Who we are
Education, mentorship and strategic positioning
Foundation Elevators is a non-profit organization creating access to education through scholarships, community and mentorship programs for underprivileged children and young people. We believe their lives will significantly improve, thus positively affecting their immediate families, communities and the world at large.
Every student should have the opportunity to complete their education — regardless of social and financial background. Our goal is to help more than 1,000 students by 2050.
What we do
Four programs, one mission
Empowerment, education opportunities, mentorship, leadership positioning and community service — the five pillars printed on our own banner, and the shape of everything we run.
