About Us

Our Story

One bold move, a hopeful endeavor, and a unified effort can transform lives and create lasting change. This is the core ideology of Ek Koshish, established in 2001. For over two decades, our NGO has been unwavering in its mission to improve health and nutrition, enhance farming practices, uplift rural livelihoods, provide quality education, promote environmental sustainability, and empower women.

Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations mission, our initiatives drive positive change and sustainable development in rural communities. Driven by participatory research, our dedicated team implements impactful programs, transforming lives and fostering a healthier, more equitable world. Each effort, no matter how small, has the potential to ripple outward, creating a significant impact and paving the way for positive change. Together, through Ek Koshish (one effort), let us make a meaningful difference in the world.

“To create a place where every individual, regardless of their background, can thrive and contribute to overall community development while safeguarding and preserving our environment for present and future generations through sustainable efforts.”

Ek Koshish is committed to fostering a holistic approach to community empowerment. In addition to our focus on health, education, and livelihoods, we prioritize environmental sustainability as a core pillar of our mission. We strive to protect and preserve our natural environment through initiatives aimed at conservation, resource management, and promoting eco-friendly practices. By engaging with local stakeholders and implementing innovative solutions, we aim to create a more sustainable and resilient society that respects and nurtures the delicate balance between humanity and nature.

Our Journey so far

A steadfast commitment to community well-being and sustainable development has marked our journey. Through initiatives like medical health check-up camps in nearly 15 villages and eye check-up camps in collaboration with rural hospitals, we have prioritized healthcare accessibility. Additionally, our efforts to promote organic farming and water conservation, exemplified by forming farmer groups and advocating for drip irrigation and biogas plants, emphasize our dedication to environmental sustainability.

Furthermore, our focus on education and empowerment is evident in projects such as distributing free books in tribal areas of North Gujarat, donating computers to schools, and providing vocational guidance. We have also prioritized women's empowerment through initiatives like employing unemployed women in farming and providing sanitary facilities in remote village areas. As we continue this journey, our goal remains to foster positive change and uplift communities, one initiative at a time.
