Animesh Jankalyan Foundation

You can find us at number 102 in the New Planning Area, right on Thakur Bari Road in Sakchi. It’s a busy part of town, which is good because people can stop by whenever they’re out shopping or running errands. The building is a bit older, but it’s sturdy and keeps the rain out. We’ve been working from here for a while now. Most of us who are here every day grew up in Sakchi or nearby, so we know the shortcuts and the local shops. We don’t have a big marketing budget or anything like that. We just focus on the people who come through the door. Sometimes the office gets a bit dusty because of the construction work nearby, but we just sweep it out and keep going. We deal with all sorts of local issues. It’s not always pretty work, and sometimes we don’t have the answers right away, but we try to find them. We keep simple records and don't use a lot of fancy software. It’s mostly just us talking to people face to face. Sakchi is a place where people still value a handshake and a conversation. We like it that way. If you’re ever near Thakur Bari Road, you’ll see our small sign out front. It’s nothing special to look at, but it’s where we do our work every single day. We keep it honest and try our best for the neighborhood.
