NYC Lower East Side Back-to-School Drive: Equipping Students for Success, Aug 27th at PS 142"
Our MISSION
The Elijah-Alavi Foundation is a pioneering non-profit organization committed to ensuring equitable access to life-saving resources for food allergy and asthma management across the nation. We advocate for inclusive policies and comprehensive support in childcare, schools, and businesses, regardless of socioeconomic status or cultural background. As a leading voice in the field, we provide accredited training for educators, childcare professionals, and organizations, empowering them to properly care for individuals with food allergies and asthma. In addition, we are actively engaged in research to advance understanding and improve outcomes, driving systemic change and fostering safer, more inclusive environments for all.
Our Vision
As an organization, it is our moral obligation to ensure the safety and well-being of children. To this end, we are dedicated to advocating for the implementation of Elijah's Law, a landmark piece of legislation aimed at providing comprehensive protection for children in various settings, including but not limited to daycare centers, public schools, and other relevant institutions.
Elijah's Law mandates the implementation of a range of measures aimed at enhancing child protection, including appropriate education and training, the establishment of clear protocols and guidelines, and the development of emergency action plans. The ultimate goal of these measures is to ensure that children are safe and secure in all environments and that appropriate steps are taken in the event of an emergency.
We believe that the implementation of Elijah's Law represents a crucial step towards achieving a more secure and protective environment for children. As responsible citizens, it is our duty to support and promote this critical piece of legislation, so that we can create a brighter and safer future for our most vulnerable children.
