Aatmaraksha Social Welfare Association

Aatmaraksha Social Welfare Association is based out of HN 15 at Malola Chouraha in Gayatri Nagar, Bhilwara. It’s a local neighborhood, and we’ve been here for a while now. We didn’t start this to get famous or make money; we just saw things in Bhilwara that could be better. Most of us grew up around here, so we know the people and the problems they face. Our office is just a regular house where we keep our files and meet up. We talk about how to help people stay safe and how to improve things in the local area. It’s not a polished operation with a secretary and a waiting room. Usually, you just walk in and someone is there to talk. We spend a lot of time out in the streets of Gayatri Nagar, talking to families and seeing what’s going on. Some people ask us for help with small things, and we do what we can. We aren’t trying to be heroes or anything like that. We’re just a group of neighbors who decided to get organized. The paperwork for the association takes up a lot of time, and none of us really like doing it, but it’s part of the job. We try to keep things honest and straightforward. If we can help, we say so. If we can’t, we try to find someone who can. It’s just about being part of the community and looking out for one another. That's the main thing for us.
