EFA focuses on bringing all disenfranchised communities under the educational umbrella. Some major global projects have been bridging the digital divide and education for girls and women. Healthcare educational initiatives have been a major project in most developing countries including India, China, Bangladesh, Philippines and Thailand. Medical camps are regularly conducted with the assistance of
local hospitals who continue the medical work after the camp is over with continued healthcare for needy patients. EFA provides financial assistance to poor patients who are unable to afford surgery and even medicines. EFA focuses on the education of girls and women worldwide, especially in developing countries such as India and China where women and the girl child are grossly undervalued
Girls and women are critical to the very survival of the human race. This simple fact is overlooked by societies where due to an unjustified preference of the male child, female fetuses are aborted, female babies are killed, girls are not as well educated as boys and wives get burnt alive by their husbands and in-laws on account of dowry demands. EFA focuses its resources on educating the girl child and a broader focus on educating societies with an intent to change perceptions towards women. EFA is engaged in projects across India, China, The US and other countries where we support schools in rural areas or in minority areas in major cities. Health Camps:
We conduct health camps where we educate communities about sanitation, HIV/AIDS, women specific diseases, including breast cancer. Workshops:
Domestic Violence:
We conduct workshops on domestic violence, where we focus not just on women but also men. Entrepreneurship:
We have workshops for women on entrepreneurship where we help women nurture ideas into business plans and help connect them with funding institutions. Public Policy:
We help identify leadership abilities in women and then help groom specific women to run for public office at the school district level, city, State and national levels. Ideology:
We are party agnostic and also devoid of any ideologies, our only ideology is that of a deep desire to help women, the girl child and help families get and remain strong.
