Acting since 2001, ELAS – Social Investment Fund has already reached some important figures: more than 200 supported groups of women and girls and almost U$ 1 million donated directly through calls for proposals. In addition to the provision of financial support to the groups, the organization offers training units and seminars to group members and monitors their activities in order to maximize results.

The investment in women and girls brings both direct and indirect results.  It is a continuous change cycle that starts with them and develops until it reaches their communities. ELAS has already supported more than 25.000 women and girls directly and more than 100.000 people indirectly.
