Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, of which more than 12 million people are in India alone. Despite such a high prevalence, the awareness concerning epilepsy in India is quite low. This lack of awareness further perpetuates the already existing stigma around epilepsy, as persons with epilepsy face discrimination and harassment for education, employment, and marriage. Hence, with the aim of making a difference in the lives of persons with epilepsy, “EKATWAM” (an NGO), was founded in 2013. In the last 11 years, EKATWAM has provided free medicines to hundreds of poor patients, provided financial aid for surgeries to patients who could not afford the same, assisted patients in getting treatment at AIIMS Delhi, organized events to create awareness about Epilepsy and support group meetings for persons with epilepsy and their care givers.
