Education, healthcare and empowerment work together — each one makes the others possible.
Program 01
We believe education is the stepping stone to a stronger future — both in the classroom and in health. Education gives children the stimulus they need to begin solving the other challenges around them: poverty, unemployment, poor healthcare and difficult living conditions.
We go the extra mile to motivate children to attend school, and to help families and communities understand how education can transform a child’s life. While schooling is free until age 14 through government funding, those funds are often not enough — so we sponsor children directly with the school supplies, books and resources they need.
To date, One Life At A Time has reached nearly 515 children.
Program 02
We provide quality healthcare to rural areas in India — and just as importantly, the knowledge to prevent illness before it starts. There is a deep connection between mind and body; one is nothing without the other, so we focus on health alongside education.
Each year we hold a medical camp in the villages where our schools are located. Using a triage process, villagers move from tent to tent for a full check-up, then receive guidance on the diseases most common in their area and how to prevent them. Basic hygiene and sanitation skills are taught to children and adults alike — and over time, the rate of certain illnesses in these areas has fallen.
Program 03
Empowerment is an essential step in creating a better future. By providing the tools, motivation and knowledge for better education and healthcare — for young girls and women as well as everyone else in the village — a sense of community and collaboration takes root among residents, council officials and government.
That collective support gives girls and women the confidence to attend school during the day. In areas where higher education is uncommon, community backing makes it possible for young women to continue their studies, whether in their own village or a nearby city. At the same time, the healthcare side of our work spreads knowledge and prevention for diseases that don’t need to spread.
Both education and healthcare empower the same future — and it takes the whole community working together to get there.
Every gift funds school supplies for a child or care for a family at our next medical camp.
