Seeking General Members for Elimu Africa to support our board and participate in this grassroots effort. Close communication with our grantees provides members with a very personal and heart warming experience.
This position is not an official board position. It allows the volunteer to manage their time as it works for their schedule to accomplish tasks of their own choosing. General members do not have voting rights but are included in all discussions during meetings and via email. This is a great way to participate without the greater responsibility of being a board member.
Option to participate in any or all of the following:
- Fall fundraising campaign
- Join committees or work with board members to accomplish specific goals as they arise and as you choose
- Option to attend board meetings held four times a year
- Spread the word about Elimu by forwarding the twice-yearly newsletter, handing out brochures, "liking" the EA Facebook page, and by other means of member’s choice.
Where: There is no home office for Elimu. Meetings will be held in Twin Cities metro area or via conference call. The specific activities would be executed at your home using your own phone and computer.

Mission Statement
The mission of Elimu Africa is to help support disadvantaged students in Africa by facilitating their pursuit of education, which is vital to combating the cycle of poverty, disease and abuse.
Description
We are a small grassroots organization founded by a group of volunteers from the United States of America who have been touched by the beauty and the hardships of the people of Africa. We raise funds annually to support existing and ongoing educational programs in Tanzania.
We are currently focusing our efforts in Northeast Tanzania. In this area, school is not free. Many families live on only $1.00-$2.00 a day and cannot afford to send their children to school. Our main objective is to support educational opportunities by funding projects at local schools, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) through a grant process. The word "Elimu" means education in Swahili, the language of Tanzania.
