About Us

About a decade earlier, a few souls have gathered together for a good reason – to dedicate their time, resources and skills in reaching out to those women, children and the families in need, irrespective of their caste, creed and status.

Little did that group of dedicated persons knew that today they would be successfully running an established NGO, ‘Ek Kadam’ spread across more than 4 states, having an army of volunteers, touching the lives of thousands of needy women, children & families, based around the belief – to help make this world a better place for the under privileged.

Ek Kadam  has been helping children from urban slums and other vulnerable communities to move on in life with the means of providing education and healthcare facilities. Ek Kadam  believes in providing all the resources to the needy children to support & direct their childhood in a leading way; by educating & empowering them to help write their own destiny.

Many women die every day in our country due to complications in pregnancy or childbirth.
