ELI targets the poorest of the poor in Africa: the school dropout, the orphan with no options, the subsistence farmer, the struggling pastor, the desperate woman who against her own conscience brews and sells an alcohol so dangerous she would never want her own children to touch it.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW CRUSHING POVERTYYour investments are producing greater results and transformation than ever before. Families are sharing their knowledge with neighbors who pay it forward to others. Impoverished small-scale farmers have gained knowledge through training and are now becoming influential forces of transformation in their villages. Illegal brewers are learning new skills and discovering God's love, which is bringing change from the inside out.

Embrace: The Cause
Where despair is on the rise, people (especially mothers) feel pressed to do unthinkable things in attempts to care for the family. Take illegal alcohol brewing for instance. This addictive, easy to make, and sometimes deadly moonshine is locally called “kill me quick.” Moms who are desperate to love their families actively destroy them by converting their homes into addict-laden “crack houses” filled with some of the worst activities imaginable. They got into the business “just for a few weeks to make some money.” Years and even decades later it’s all their hungry, uneducated, and horrifyingly abused children know. Any future has been choked out of husbands who drink, wives who brew, and children who are the real victims. Imagine the rampant increase of HIV, broken families, domestic violence, crime, idle youth, and the population of orphans.
Poverty is a dark and powerful force but when your care equips people with practical skills and innovative techniques - a mom, dad, and their children can blaze a new trail out of poverty and lead with an example of self-sustainability and income generation.
Today hope is igniting in unlikely places and entire villages are breaking the chains of generational poverty and leaping toward a radically new place of transformation and development. People are changing from the inside out!
Equipping people to lead and multiply
A movement exists because of rapid multiplication. The only way to launch and sustain exponential impact is through intentional leadership development. Strong, good, and healthy leaders are essential because they bear and cast vision, but that's not all: they also "walk the walk" so others can follow. People will only emulate things that are proven to work. When capable implementers begin to teach, people listen because it's been proven with their lives.

A movement exists because of rapid multiplication. The only way launch and sustain exponential impact is through intentional leadership develop. Leaders are vision bearers but they must also be vision casters. That said, vision alone is not enough. people will only follow, immulate, and replicate things that are proven to work . . . by capable implementors. Visionary implementors are World Changers.
