Ekal sponsors come from all walks of life. They range from well known businesses to university clubs to individuals. These sponsors are spread all over the world. They all have different life experiences and reasons for supporting Ekal. However, they all share the common vision of eradicating illiteracy from the remote/tribal villages of India and making the local communities self-sufficient.      

This desire to help the Ekal movement has not stopped those either who are not yet financially independent. An inspirational example of this is one Sydney high school student who single-handedly raised enough money to sponsor a school by organising a cultural program and along the way raised awareness amongst her friends and local community about the issues faced by the people living in remote villages.

Ekal sponsors in Australia have so far sponsored more than 350 schools. And now Ekal Australia is working hard to substantially contribute to the Global EVF’s aim of sponsoring 100,000 schools by the year 2011.
