Our Work

Eight programs. One pathway.

Each program meets a real need today — and moves a child or young person one step closer to standing on their own.

How It Fits Together

From relief to self-sufficiency

ECF believes sustainable impact requires addressing immediate needs while also creating pathways toward independence.

    Education

    Keep children learning, in school and prepared.

  4. 4

    Skills

    Build practical, vocational and artisanal skills.

  5. 5

    Opportunity

    Open pathways to jobs and honest income.

  6. 6

    Self-Sufficiency

    Young people standing on their own, for good.
