Ekam USA Inc.

Ekam USA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for the marginal and underprivileged communities in: Medical care, education and financial independence, with focus on women and children. Our goal is to create sustainable, long-term solutions through impactful projects to uplift and empower vulnerable communities. We believe that every individual has the right to quality medical care, education and self-reliance, regardless of their socio-economic status, race, or gender. We strive to create a holistic approach towards the Whole Family with focus on children and their mothers, and To create a consortium of various non profits to provide multi faceted assistance to the needy families to bring their overall well being to a better state than today.

EKAM, meaning “Oneness,” represents the connection of all living beings. This vision propels EKAM USA to bring volunteers and donors to work together as One to serve the community.

Goal One: Reinforcement of medical facilities in rural areas with necessary medical equipment so pregnant women and children, with limited health care access can obtain basic care.

Goal Two: Empowering youth to develop service-mindedness and encourage participation in local communities to serve local and international causes through workshops for mental resilience, health awareness, etc.

Goal Three: Livelihood and education support to women and those in financial need, providing opportunities so they can earn a sustainable income and result in holistic improvement of the community.

We have continuous programs in place through constant training- for youth and adult volunteers, through various workshops for mental resilience, yoga, health training, goal-setting, care and compassion training, autism awareness, etc. with focus on youth-led projects, training them as leaders in their chapters for their projects. Chapter directors and board members participate in the workshops and bring guest speakers of various talents and caliber to train the organization.

Rebounding from COVID has not been easy but Ekam USA has survived this transition. Ekam partnered with other nonprofits to expand the scope of our services and the geographic reach to new communities and locations, in USA and internationally in India and Africa. We have resumed our focus on healthcare by continuing to support rural medical facilities that serve pregnant women, children & underprivileged communities by providing medical equipment for basic medical care to this population who have limited access to health care. Prosthetic limbs were provided to the patients that could not afford them- children and adults, so they could resume normal lives. Health and nutrition education has been provided to the community as well as adolescents through hygiene and safe health practice training. Education has been supported through financial scholarship, providing transport to schools, giving school supplies and helping with infrastructure of schools and students in need. Professional education has been supported to medical students and underprivileged beneficiaries to facilitate long term sustainable income, resulting in economic improvement of communities. Online tutoring of English and other subjects was provided locally and in other countries by our enthusiastic volunteers. Multiple livelihood opportunities were provided to mothers of disabled children, tribal communities and COVID-affected families, to sustain the family's wellbeing. Youth workshops have been offered to develop service-mindedness, empowering youth with mental resilience, yoga, goal-setting, etc. to train them as better volunteers. Service opportunities were provided so youth and adult volunteers could participate in programs to provide regular meals to orphanages, shelters, elderly people, disabled children, etc. Environmental support was provided through tree planting and plant sales. Clean water is being provided to remote villages caught in draught by providing sustainable water sources.
