About Us

Brief History

Environmental Conservation and Livelihood Outreach Foundation (ECLOF) was born as the Ecumenical Church Loan Fund, Myanmar. It is an ecumenical organization since 1959 under the Myanmar Council of Churches through the initiative and dedication of visionary Christian missionaries. At that time its main objective was to help rebuild church building destroyed by the war. Overtime, ECLOF evolved into a development institution which seeks to promote integrated development program and registered as a local non-government organization (LNGO). ECLOF has five main program sectors. They are Livelihood and Food Security, WASH, Micro-Finance, Environmental Conservation and Emergency Relief. We are implementing at Dry Zone region, Delta region and Yangon Division.
