Who We Are

A Non-profit organization, Elephant Community Foundation, empowering citizens to gain everyday life skills (understanding insurance, credit score, loans, credit cards, our savings security, our retirement accounts, etc) as "Life Ladder". Most life skills are not taught in schools or at a company where you work. As a result, we need such empowerment to build those life skills via pragmatic education for better social outcomes. 

We also focus on 'Tech Journey', where we educate citizens on excessive or compulsive use of Technology, digital devices like smartphones, computers, or gaming consoles, which can have several negative physical, psychological, and social side effects. Check 'Tech Journey".

An Elephant In The Room: There is an obvious problem or difficult situation that people do not want to talk about, especially around life skills. Do we know whether our bank savings account is secure enough? What doesn’t our insurance cover? When it comes to those skills and decisions, we tend to create obvious challenges with half-baked knowledge and bad decisions. Our focus is on enriching those skills with pragmatic education, online sessions, and improvements. 

How do we work & what is our methodology and cycle?

  1. Join an online video meeting with a like-minded group on a particular life skill topic (Video meeting with a group)
  2. Discuss that topic (Discussion/Debate)
  3. Ready with a Checklist on that topic (TODO Checklist)
  4. Take an action to improve the life skill on that topic (Take Action)
  5. Iterate the cycle with improvements from the previous session's learnings

How a dialogue, or discussion helps

In today’s busy (taking care of education, taking care of family or kids, job/career building, work pressures, social dilemmas, and ten other things in a day we do) world, we lack time to learn and make right decisions (insurance, car, banking, warranties etc). Thus, we need a recurring dialogue in a group with the right methodology to improve those life skills. 

It’s a journey from complexity (questions, unknowns, or dilemmas, or curiosity) towards ease (knowing how it works) for life decisions. A dialog or a meetup creates debates and raises a lot of questions or unknowns or dilemmas, or curiosity, which leads towards getting answers, clarity, or better decisions.

Time to master these skills

The biggest hurdle is our time and whether we have enough time on hand and are ready to take the time, keep learning, and master each life skill. After all, we are simply busy in today’s distracted world and don’t have time to spend on these important life skills. But if we take the time, learn, and master each life skill, then we will see rewards. 

How do we start sessions?

There are two ways we start a meeting 

  • We invite employees in a company or another nonprofit organization to join a video call, invite colleagues in the company, and get started on a life skill topic.
  • A volunteer triggers the life skill session and follows the methodology

Together for Life

Let us work together on enriching much-needed, ignored life skills and improving our quality of life with a common purpose.
