Our CEO Message
“We have a world which offer untapped and rich resources for people and communities to thrive and grow. Yet, millions of people are going hungry, and living in absolute poverty. We have skilled, talented young people that could change their world, but yet that cannot even make it to school.
We have land, water, animals and air to breathe, but yet we abuse these given resources. We complain when the air is filled with smog, when the water gets polluted and when the land becomes non-arable. If we could see ourselves as stewards of this earth, surely things would look different. This is what we in Elnet Foundation and Elnet Technologies group of companies want to do.
Let us work together; diligently, efficiently, loving in action by sharing what we have with those that doesn’t have – taking responsibility for conducting our businesses ethically and treating planet earth as one; with limited resources but endless potential. Our world is one. Our children are a common cause and responsibility. We breath the same air. We eat our daily bread from soils of the same planet earth. Those that are vulnerable, including animals, deserve our care. Everyone deserves to live in dignity.
At Elnet Foundation we rejoice in being able to share. Our bread tastes better when we know our neighbor is not going hungry to bed. Our bed feels more comfortable if know we are helping children off the street. We have a responsibility to share and we take honor in sharing as much as possible.
If you want to join us, you are welcome to join hands in this precious effort. We believe in working hand in hand, whether it’s with a CEO of a global company, a housewife in the city or a farmer on the countryside. We all have skills; untapped potential that we wish to make use of. We are on a journey. It’s a lifelong task and we are committed to not giving in, to not giving up. From our family to yours, let’s make this world a better place.
Thank you for taking interest in Elnet Foundation. “
