The origin of Eternal Life Organization International Ministries (ELOIM) is a reality of the founder’s childhood dream. It stretches way back to 1998, a year that came with sudden life changing events that shaped the idea from a mere word of thought and world view to a clear vision many years down the road that still exists to date as a mandate of service. An adolescent then at the age of 13 lost his parents within a space of two months, left with no alloCare support systems, his existence along with the siblings at the moment drifted from upscale well to do living to dire vulnerability with an everyday living cornered with psychosocial and economical challenges. Everybody would expect that the extreme suffering, hunger, starvation, trauma, stress, and exploitation would alter the young man’s destination however, these instead became corner stones to resilience and survival.
It didn’t take long to get to supportive environments and groups. While at St. Joseph Nazigo, Off-Tu Mission Christian organization that was providing evangelism in the school whose mission was to reach many young people with the gospel of Christ reignited the passion of serving the vulnerable communities within available resources, this also served as a gestation period of comprehensive design layout of ELOIM exact services.
“Joining this team was one of the best things that ever happened in my life since my parents passing, and while I spread the word of God so was my dream being fulfilled” said Pastor Steven Tendo.
The period between 1998 to 2004 saw Uganda suffer a number of crises, with the biggest population vulnerable and many children orphaned, any support at this point of time was lifesaving. Experiencing this with hands on showed how easy it would be to achieve ELOIM mission of bringing dignity and hope to men, women and children in African communities through health care access, education, access to justice and environment and climate mitigation.
In 2007, while at university, the ELOIM identity and activities spearhead by a number of colleagues into different communities were widespread, successes were counted, lessons learnt and impact felt. This shaped the generation of a clear goal, vision, mission, and core values. In 2009, ELOIM was fully incorporated as an NGO to provide its services nationally in the areas of Health care, Education, Access to justice and community reintegration, and Environment and climate change mitigation. And since incorporation, the organization has served over 6 million people with support from different partners, line ministries, donations in cash and relief and collaborations in its four major thematic areas. Uganda serving as the headquarter, ELOIM opened a second branch in USA in 2015 under leadership and management of Pastor Steven Tendo to ensure continuous and sustainable support towards the cause of serving the vulnerable communities. The bigger dream is to have ELOIM coordinating offices in every part of Africa to support the realization of “Hope for an African Child.”
Since 2004 , ELOI Ministries founded by Tendo Steven, has been able to transform a number of lives of young people, widows, orphans and destitute Children through mobile medical care, bible studies, provision of formal education , grooming and advocates for the rights of the children of Africa. Steven’s team feel so blessed and touched as they witness firsthand the hope and joy the children have found in Jesus Christ and Eloi Ministries’ experience.
