Who We Are
ELIMU CARE began as a network of young people who banded together in 2020 to provide educational resources and sanitary essentials to adolescent girls and women affected by the Covid- 19 pandemic. To prevent the spread of the Virus, schools were closed. Learners from vulnerable communities lacked access to education resources and E-learning platforms due to a lack of electronic devices and internet connectivity. Hence Elimu Care interventions.
On November 27th 2020, ELIMU CARE was officially registered as a Community-Based Organization with the mandate to focus on additional issues impacting the community, and the LEG model was developed (Leadership and youth empowerment , Education and community empowerment , and Gender equity and equality).
Farida Ally is a Kenyan Education Activist currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Development Studies and holds a Diploma in Social Work and Community Development. She is the proud founder of ELIMU CARE, a women-youth led community organization dedicated to championing educational development by addressing gender issues, with a particular focus on the rights of girls and women.
Farida serves as a Kenya Youth Leader for the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), an alumna of the She Leads UN Cohort, and a Women7 advisor – 2024, advocating for gender equality and women’s rights within the G7 framework. She also serves as a Global Youth Ambassador at Their World Org, reflecting her passion for advocating for equitable access to quality education for all, regardless of socioeconomic status, earning her nominations and prestigious awards, including the African GBV Warrior Award and the She Is Award in Latin America.
She has delivered impactful speeches at significant platforms such as the UN Human Rights Council, the European Humanitarian Forum, and the 1st plenary of the 2023 Women Deliver Conference.
