About
Our Name
Every organisation has a persona that identifies its calling. Ours comes from the name ‘Eli Shlama’.
Our business name has a personal meaning that honours the names of the founder’s father, Elisha, and her uncle, Salam, both of whom were lost to war and cancer respectively.
This combination of words also brings with it a unique message: Eli is the Semitic word for ‘my God’ and Shlama is the Aramaic word for ‘peace’, creating the phrase ‘My God is peace’.
Since our inception, we have focused on the name ‘Eli Shlama’ forming the foundation of the company's ethos - Peace of heart and mind, Compassion and Prosperity
Our Philosophy
As a socially-driven enterprise, our philosophy is one of enabling you to maximise your potential and adopt the cultural know-how to better inter-relate with natives from other countries; when you become the person you want to be, your purpose in life also becomes clear.
By bringing together the perfect mix of professional integrity, wisdom, compassion, and solidarity you are empowered to achieve your goals, enabling you to traverse all obstacles that may appear in your path, while at the same time enabling victims of war, misfortune and poverty to become true artisans of their own destiny.
