What Each One Educate One does

Each One Educate One Foundation is a For-Impact, UN SDGs-aligned non-profit NGO registered in Karnataka, India, providing free-of-charge, holistic, values-based residential education to socio-economically disadvantaged rural children and youth across Karnataka, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. The Foundation operates three interconnected Edu-Care programmes—Each One Educate One (Grades 6 to 12), Each One Higher Educate One (UG to PhD), and Each One Medical Educate One (MBBS, Nursing, and Allied Health Sciences)—delivered through 26-28 residential campuses housing approximately 3,000 students at any given time, with ~500 new Grade 6 students enrolled annually. The operating model covers the full cost of education, food, accommodation, healthcare, clothing, talent development, and vocational training, with per-student annual costs ranging from ₹1,00,000 to ₹8,00,000 depending on programme level.

The Foundation operates within the broader Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission (SMSGHM) ecosystem, which includes Sri Sathya Sai Loka Seva Gurukulam schools, Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence, and Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences & Research. Notably, SMSIMSR is described as India's first free-of-charge medical college, enabling the MBBS arm of the programme. Supplementary infrastructure includes an Atal Tinkering Lab established with Dell Technologies (covering digital literacy, coding, AI, and Big Data), STEM Mini Science Centres sponsored by Volvo, a 674 kWh solar capacity across campuses (saving 790 metric tons of CO2 annually, aligned with UN SDG 7), 50,000+ trees planted, and a Sai Symphony Orchestra performing at national and international venues.

The Foundation is entirely donation-funded, with revenue derived from individual philanthropists, corporate CSR partners, and fundraising campaigns. Donor benefits include 80G tax exemption. GTM motion is community-led: students are identified through rural village outreach and screening visits, while donor acquisition relies on word-of-mouth, alumni storytelling on social media, individual fundraising campaigns by supporters, and CSR partner introductions. Named enterprise CSR partners in 2024 include Dell Technologies, Volvo, Sembcorp Energy India, Sabre Travel Technologies, Würth Elektronik, and DAMAC Properties, with an international academic MoU signed with Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University.
