Elephant Thoughts

Elephant Thoughts enables teachers to create change, both in Canada and abroad. We are a registered Canadian charity, founded in 2002 by a group of teachers, principals and other professional educators. We are many things: a new form of charity built on principles of self-reliance and self-sustenance; a source of educational programs and solutions in the classroom and beyond; and a force for sustainable change in education both in Canada's First Nations and in the developing world. Our membership and volunteers consist of 1000's of teachers globally. This helps us leverage the expertise of hundreds of education professionals to create some of the most effective and innovative educational solutions offered in any school, anywhere. Elephant Thoughts works with schools across Canada including more than 100 Indigenous schools annually, and in Tanzania, Nepal, and India. Elephant Thoughts also responds to major humanitarian issues including rebuilding schools after the earthquakes in China and Nepal, and sponsoring refugee families.
