EOTO was founded on the simple belief that a small group of dedicated people working toward a common goal can make a large impact in the world. Here's how it all began.
Nitesh Patel, born and raised in the United States traveled back to India and saw and found it very difficult to see so many intelligent and talented children missing out because they did not have the basic necessities to help them fulfill their dreams, simply because they were orphaned or their families were too poor. Nitesh's parents have sponsored many children in India and Nitesh has a unique understanding of the opportunities and prospects of providing the basic necessities to children. Nitesh has personally set aside $25,000, which he dedicated to help pay for health, education, medical attention, housing and nourishment of several orphans and poverty stricken children in India, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
ABOUT EOTO

Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide poor and orphaned children with the financial means to access the basic necessities for health, medical, housing, education, nourishment and supplemental income in the developing or stricken countries, facilitated through donations and fund-raising initiatives world wide.
Our Vision
Our vision at EOTO is based on the belief that providing the basic necessities is key to the empowerment of children living in poverty. Worldwide more than a million children do not have access to basic necessities. Through local efforts by our members worldwide, EOTO seeks to confront the specific barriers. Our endeavor is to overcome these barriers which can be made possible through donations and fund-raising initiatives worldwide. Where each dollar raised contributes to a meaningful difference in the life and future of a child.
Our History
Nitesh realized that he could not do this individually and found people that shared the same belief and vision in order to achieve the same goals. Nitesh has recruited like mind individuals to the board who have contributed $5000 each to ensure that children around the world can achieve their dreams and make a better place for themselves and their loved ones. Shortly thereafter, EOTO was formed as a non profit group.
From these humble beginnings EOTO has grown to a full operation, running teams in India and Mexico partnering with key non-profits, foundations, trusts and institutional organizations and maintaining a vast and diverse support network.
What we do
The primary objective of EOTO is to provide basic necessities (health, medical, housing, education, nourishment and supplemental income) for children which will be made possible through donations from individuals, estates, foundations and corporations. While the cost of these basic necessities may be reasonable to our standards it is difficult for children in developing or poverty stricken countries to attend school, pay for basic medical check ups, or even having a balanced meal once a day, because they may be lacking the funding that is required to obtain these services. Through the generosity of EOTO donors and volunteers, EOTO is able to provide the funding for the basic necessities for children who would not have otherwise had the opportunity.
Our sponsorship programs not only covers the essential costs for these necessities, but also ensures that each child has a strong support network to allow them to fulfill there dreams and enjoy a fulfilling overall experience, that helps them to get out of poverty. Poverty stricken children around the world face a range of unique challenges and barriers, and as such, we do not believe in a one size fits all approach.
The EOTO team conducts extensive interviews with each child to customize our sponsorship package to ensure that they have every opportunity for success. A sponsorship entails not only a commitment to our children, but a commitment to our donors that we will do everything in our power to ensure that our children are facilitated with an enriching experience. It is a commitment that we take very seriously.
