    This fundraiser will benefit

    Poor people

    from Kolkata, West Bengal

Ekya started as an initiative in the midst of the pandemic. The distressing news and the rising number of Corona cases created a tense and depressing atmosphere. There were only a certain number of people who could survive, whether physically, financially, emotionally, or mentally. It wasn't because it was always too serious; it was because people lacked the tools to help themselves. It was a situation we were aware of, were sensitive to and were vicariously experiencing feelings and thoughts that did not let us held ourselves back from the thought of helping others in need. We had that ability to understand and feel what our fellow human beings experienced from their point of view. We couldn't bear seeing our fellow humans in such a state because it could be us someday, God forbid. This single thought resulted in the establishment of the Ekya Foundation.                    
Ekya Foundation is a pan-India, government recognised NGO which focuses on uniting the youth from different parts of India in a common objective to fight hunger across India. In a year and a half, Ekya has impacted thousands of lives across India. The aim is to target humble locations and groups of people who are in dire need of support, care and nutritious food. Government hospitals serve as one of our main locations, where individuals from rural areas travel miles in order to receive treatment and tend to skip meals in order to save money for the treatment of their loved ones. The NGO additionally focuses on meeting children’s educational requirements and hospital expenditures.      
With 6 centres: Assam, Chandigarh, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Saharanpur, Ekya is quickly spreading to 4 new centres in Pune, Naugaon, Jharkhand and Hyderabad. With youth as the strength of Ekya, we wishes to grow, impact and save thousands of lives everyday to bring about a change in our society and the country we live in.                                    
   

Food drive in Kolkata

We have always learnt to take, but now is our time to give back to the society. We understand it is not safe, nor is it feesible for all to step out of their houses and help the ones in need. Money collected from this fundraiser would go towards our main goal- to reach out to small slums who do not have basic facilities and thus to provide them with meal packages filled with nutrients. 

  Food drive in Mumbai

We have started with this small mission of ours to not let anyone sleep hungry. A mission where each one is dedicated and their hearts are contented just seeing the smile on the faces of those who need it.S o many people are still at a disadvantage, unable to access basic necessities.
Food drive in Saharanpur

 EKYA wants to continue helping such people, but as a group of students serving the community, we don't have the monetary means to do so. Now they are asking for your help and support during these uncertain times. Any amount you contribute can make a big difference.
Small steps to big changes as we believe- our blessings should be shared.
