elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalization

elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalization exists to fight absolute poverty with entrepreneurial means, leveraging the opportunities of globalization. We aspire to be a role model organization with global charisma in the field of philanthropic impact investing. 

elea invests philanthropic capital in and provides strategic support to entrepreneurially led ventures that create lasting social impact by giving people living in absolute poverty access to employment, markets, and value chains. Across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, we collaborate with impact ventures that have innovative, economically viable models which catalyze change in their ecosystems and eventually attract further capital. Our investments are centered around agricultural value chains, last-mile retail and services, employable skills, and climate and livelihoods.
