About Eleazer Trust

             
                                     

The word, “Eleazer”, which finds its origin in Hebrew, translates to “God helps” or “My God has helped”. Rooted in the same definition, Eleazer Trust is a non-profit charitable trust which works towards the empowerment and upliftment of the underprivileged sections of our society. It does so by confronting the issue of illiteracy by creating opportunities for children belonging to the disadvantaged sections. These opportunities are provided to the students through financial aid to supplement their academic fees and school supplies.

Eleazer Trust aims at creating a bridge between the privileged and the underprivileged sections of our society. The Trust seeks to enable willing and able individuals reach out to those in need of help of financial aid as well as other basic necessities (books, uniforms, furniture, food, counselling et cetera).

With boundless support from several philanthropic donors and well-wishers, we are presently functioning across three states-Manipur, Meghalaya and Nagaland-where we provide financial aid to 85 students.For More Information go on Eleazer Trust website  http://eleazer.org/

A Few Words From Our Founders

“Three hundred rupees a month is exactly how much the tuition cost is in Samzuiram, Nagaland. Let that sink in for a moment. Everyday, we spend an equal amount, or more, on things that we want but may not necessarily need. All of us have heard about poverty, but since it has never been close to home, it never really made an impact in our lives.

When there is an epidemic out there but it does not affect you, that’s when you know that you are privileged. However once this epidemic touches your life, even in the smallest possible way, the gravity of it creates a paradigm shift in your way of thinking. It dawns upon you then that you must do something to bring a change to whatever extent you can.

This is exactly what Eleazer aims to do. Although it our mission to help educate the underprivileged through financial assistance, we want to do more. We aim to help create and move towards a society where each individual has a vocation they can support themselves with.

I would like to extend my gratitude to all the donors who have helped with the initial push to get things moving, and to those who supported us in their prayers and well wishes.”
