Ekal Vidyalaya is making use of our tailoring training centers run by Integrated Village Development (IVD) Projects and Ekal Gramothan Foundation for:
- Making cloth face masks.
- Distributing masks free of cost to Government Primary Health Centers and Government Hospitals.
- Distributing masks to Ekal volunteers engaged in awareness campaigns.
The masks are manufactured in a professional manner, and are very cost effective as well. Ekal has 24 such active centers in rural areas of Jharkhand, Odisha, Bengal, Assam, Gujarat, Rajasthan, UP, MP and Uttarakhand, which are being put to this service. Ekal Vidyalaya currently has an infrastructure to supply and distribute 10,000 pieces every day and our goal is to reach a target of ONE MILLION masks before the end of April 2020.
The Impact of a Million Face Masks
- We believe that, along with other prevention measures, cloth masks will help reduce the spread of the disease, and help us fight this pandemic across Indian villages.

- It is critical for us to limit the spread of this virus in a country as populous as India. 

- This is a humble effort from Ekal Vidyalaya to contribute to the well being of our healthcare workers.

Support this Ekal Campaign
Our aim is to make and distribute 1,000,000 masks by April 30, 2020.
We need your support to help us reach our goal to protect our caregivers, volunteers and people in Indian villages.
