The Lelt Foundation believes that being born into poverty should not deny you the right to succeed.

OUR MISSION

For over fourteen years, the Lelt Foundation has partnered with local organizations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to create pathways for families often left at the margins of society. Our mission is to reduce poverty by providing integrated programs in nutrition, education, and economic mobility that move families from crisis to long-term self-sufficiency and dignity. We prioritize localization, empowering indigenous leaders and community-driven models to break the cycle of generational poverty.

Our programs are designed to empower acutely impoverished families to become sustainable, financially secure, and independent.

We focus on educational and employment opportunities that provide the tools and resources needed for our community members to achieve success in school and enterprise.
