The Elliot Foundation for Autism was founded by Mrs. Aline Gisele Nsabimana in 2022. The Foundation (named after her son Elliott Ntaganda) was initiated as a response to the many needs the family faced while raising her autistic son in Rwanda.
Encompassing the family's experience and driven by the passion to inspire others , Elliot foundation plans to strengthen children and families affected by autism spectrum disorders through raising awareness and support for clinical services, education, and research. The Foundation will offer innovative, evidence-based programs for families and individuals across the life-span in six focus areas: Clinical service, Education, Caregiver skills training, global autism support network, Therapy Services and research.
Our vision is to create a society that empowers and encourage autistic children to reach their full potential.
