Vision

Advocacy can play a great role in reducing the scale and impact of dementia. We need to raise our voices to support those who are impacted by dementia. The more people who speak up, the greater the awareness, prevention, and early intervention.

Strategy

Elul uses various social media platforms and public media to raise awareness about the nature of dementia and how to help people living with dementia and those who care for them.

Impact

Elul aspires to connect with a passionate community of people from various fields, and cultural backgrounds, and outstanding mentors who are similarly passionate about collaborating to reduce the burden of dementia.

Motivation

The burden of dementia is increasing dramatically in her home country, Ethiopia, yet the majority of society is still unaware of the nature of the condition.
