Vaishnavi Vridh Ashram Foundation

Our foundation is situated in a village called Jat Behrore, which is in the Mundawar tehsil of Alwar. We are based at Amar Singh Mahalawat’s place, right in the heart of the village. Being in a place like this means life moves a bit slower than in the big cities like Jaipur. We are right here in the middle of rural Rajasthan. We spend a lot of our time thinking about and visiting the elderly people in our community who might not have anyone else to look after them properly. In villages, families are usually close, but sometimes life happens and people end up alone. We wanted to make sure there was a group of people looking out for them. The foundation is run very simply. We don't have fancy computers or a big office. Most of our work happens sitting on the porch or walking through the village lanes to visit people in their homes. Alwar is a beautiful place, but life can be tough for the older generation out in the countryside. We try to help with whatever is needed, whether it’s food, medicine, or just a bit of company for an hour. It’s honest work, and we don’t try to dress it up with any fancy language or reports. We are just local people from Jat Behrore trying to make life a bit easier for our elders. It’s just what neighbors do for each other here in our small part of Alwar.
