Equal As One is a non-profit organization working to bring comprehensive medical care and quality education to under-served communities internationally. Access to health care and quality education are necessary means to alleviate the burdens of poverty. The primary focus of Equal As One is to provide initial assistance to poverty-stricken communities to setup healthcare centers and schools, then help these communities organize to sustain these institutions themselves. Equal As One embraces interdependence as a fundamental philosophy of life; no matter how absolute, separate or self-sufficient, people or aspects of life may seem, everything and everyone depends on something else. This philosophy inspires us to view every human being as equal, and as kin. We need each other. This will be the philosophy we hope to promote as we bring community members together to build sustainable and enduring institutions that add value to their lives.
