Apni Pukar Foundation

The Apni Pukar Foundation is located out in Bhawanipura, in the Bundi district. We work from C/O Bheru Lal’s place, specifically Dhakad Bhawanipuradistrict - Bundi. It’s a rural area, so things move a bit slower than in the big cities. Our office is basically a room in the house where we keep our records and meet up. It’s quiet and we like it that way. We don’t have a website team or a PR person. Usually, it’s just us and whoever stops by for a chat. Bundi is a beautiful place, but there’s a lot of work to be done in the smaller villages. We try to stay focused on that. The walls are a bit dusty and the furniture is old, but it serves its purpose. We don’t have fancy goals or corporate language. We just look at what’s in front of us. Some days we spend more time outside than inside. It’s hard work, and sometimes we wonder if we’re making progress, but then we just keep going. People in the district know where Bheru Lal lives, so they find us easily enough. We aren't trying to be the biggest foundation out there. We just want to be here, in Bhawanipura, doing what we can for the people around us. It’s a simple life, and the work is honest, even if it gets a bit messy sometimes. We just have a tea and talk about what needs doing next.
