When you support the ELF, you support young people like Hanna and Sonam.

Hanna’s Story

“It helps that they actually understand the struggles you are going through. I felt myself get over barriers. Without the program, I would have struggled a lot more with reading and writing.”

- Hanna, ELF Sage Youth Program Alumni

Sonam’s Story

“I felt a lot of relief. If I didn’t have the program, I think I would be lost, honestly! I would definitely not be where I am right now.”

– Sonam, ELF Sage Youth Program Alumni

 

 This is our hope and vision too! And we are actively working towards it, together with our volunteers and community partners across Canada.

*Hanna’s wish for children that face the same challenges she did:

“I hope that they have the opportunities I had to better themselves for the world.”

 

Just like Sonam’s, thousands of children’s lives are impacted positively every year through our literacy programs in Ottawa and our support to partners nationwide.
