Ekam Foundation Mumbai (EFM) is a registered charitable
trust under Bombay Public Trust Act 1950, having
commenced its work 5 years ago in the city of Mumbai and
Maharashtra. EFM is focused in its work in improving
child healthcare outcomes in the underprivileged sections
of the society. To address EFM has two key programmes:
• Surgery Support Programme (SSP) which provides
affordable, immediate relief and medical intervention to
critical health issues; and,
• School Health Programme (SHP) which addresses
long term healthcare outcomes through health & hygiene
awareness programmes in schools.
In 2019 EFM also launched a new programme – ‘Ekam
Education Fund’ that will support at least 100 children in
keeping them in education, from institutions and schools
that provide value-based, all-rounded development to the
poorest of the poor.
