Our History

Eternal Life Trust (ELT) is a nationally registered, non-religious, non-political, and a nonprofit organisation that work to alleviate suffering, powerty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive & just communities.
We act as a connector, a collaborator, a catalyst and an advocate for change. For 20 years and in more than 10 Indian states, we help local communities to strengthen the capacity of deprived children and women to improve their health, nutrition, education and protection conditions

In every community where we work, we connect people to the resources and opportunities they need to build strong, stable livelihoods that can withstand future challenges.

We champion education and training, as this is the basis for a life in dignity, and we contribute to a decrease in poverty, to food security and health care. The main beneficiaries of our projects are children and adolescents, women and underprivileged population groups, differently abled children, widows and lepors.

Eternal Life Trusts (ELT) support programmes are designed to enable disadvantaged persons to live independently and with dignity. As a principle, we do not resort to one-time measures (except in extreme emergencies), but offer long-term, sustainable support.

By planning and executing all our projects in close cooperation with well-established, trustworthy local partners and by providing them with systematic professional training whenever necessary, we want to strengthen the local structures and to increase their sense of ownership.

Before moving into a new project area, we from ELT (Eternal Lift Trust) set up an action plan. We take a very close look at the situation and define exactly how we can improve the living conditons of the local population in a sustainable manner. Often it is not sufficient to give people access to basic education, skills training or health care – in order to improve their situation substantially, an integrated approach is needed. It is our aim to support our beneficiaries until they can generate income for themselves and consequently organize their lives independently.

We in total adopt a human rights-based approach in our programmes, fostering partnerships for local development among community actors, service providers and elected representatives.

ELTs Core Values Commitment are TRANSFORMATION, INTEGRITY, DIVERSITY, EXCELLENCE, and EQUALITY, which serve as a foundation for all that we do.

You can be a powerful partner to ELT as its communicator. Speak to your friends, family and colleagues to create awareness about the situation of the needy, mobilize support for ELT and its efforts to ensure that all deprived souls enjoy their basic rights!
