Emergentbright Care Foundation

Our place is located in Mohila Koyal Mukam, right at Ishfaq Ahmad Mir’s house. If you are coming through Bandipora or Baramulla, you probably know the area well. Emergentbright Care Foundation operates from here in this part of Jammu & Kashmir. It is not your typical business office. We basically work out of a home setting because it makes everything feel more connected to the community. Living and working in 193502 means we see our neighbors every single day. The roads around here can be a bit rough depending on the season, especially when it rains, but we manage to get around. We spend a lot of time sitting around the table discussing how to handle the care work we do. It’s mostly just us and a couple of volunteers who come by when they have a spare hour. We don’t have fancy signs or a reception desk. Usually, someone just knocks on the door and we invite them in for some tea while we talk. It gets quite cold in the winter months, so we keep the heater going and try to stay productive. There is always a lot to do, and sometimes it feels like we are never quite caught up. But that is just how it goes when you are running something like this from a small village. We keep it simple and focus on the day-to-day tasks. It might not be much to look at, but it works for us.
