The EKAM Los Angeles is a group of students who have been inspired by EKAM's work to support underprivileged children, women, and individuals in need during times of crisis. Our primary objective is to strengthen the existing public health system and address its gaps, ultimately leading to sustainable well-being within the community. We aim to achieve this in a cost-effective manner by actively involving community members and holding them accountable for their health improvement. With a multi-pronged and grassroots approach, supported by our dedicated volunteers, we strive to make a positive impact. We are deeply committed to supporting individuals in becoming active and thriving members of society, while also respecting and preserving their cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Support Los Angeles Wildfire Relief Effort |
Since January 7, at least seven separate wildfires have been ravaging Los Angeles and Southern California. More than 31,000 people have been ordered to evacuate and more than 14,000 structures are threatened, according to Los Angeles County’s Coordinated Joint Information Center. Although the air quality index in Los Angeles has been good, tiny particulate matter is affecting vulnerable groups. "Fire debris and ash contain harmful substances like heavy metals, asbestos and toxic chemicals. Heavy metals such as lead and arsenic can come from burned electronics and building materials," said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of L.A. County Department of Public Health, at a press conference. Dr. Ferrer adds that other toxins, such as dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are present and are known to cause respiratory irritation. To address this critical need, EKAM USA is fundraising for air purifiers for victims with medical needs, such as asthma and dialysis, who are heading back to their homes but have to face poor air conditions.

Project Malawi Raising funds for adolescent training and girl empowerment camps in Malawi in East Africa. The aim of this campaign is to improve the living standards of the most vulnerable and marginalized members of the Malawi community, including orphans, girls, extremely poor women, and patients with incurable diseases such as AIDS, cancer, and others requiring palliative care. We are working towards this by empowering girls in rural villages and investing in their future through access to education and community programs. We intend to provide various forms of support, including: paying for a month's education, school uniforms, an entire school year of education, bicycles to get to school, and even sending a girl to university for a year or through college after high school. Overall, the goal is to transform the lives of those who are most in need in the community. Goal: $5,000.00
