Partnerships

ELI is dedicated to working in partnership with like minded and “like hearted” organizations to strengthen its national and international network.

The income generating activities of ELI also contribute to the development of Eurasia’s humanitarian & ecological projects.

When we first began, all our programs were offered for free and we had to fundraise to organize the courses. More recently, we have started establishing income-generating programs for instance by creating programs for corporations. One of our aims is also to gradually enable our trainers and facilitators to earn a “Right Livelihood” that allows them to fully focus their time and energy for the development of Eurasia and ELI.
