Peranbu Foundation

Peranbu Foundation is located at Flat No.2 in the Sn Apartment building. The building is called Aranyakam and it is in the Kaprassery area of Nedumbassery, near Aluva. We are in Ernakulam with the zip code 683585. Since we are in an apartment, the office feels very personal and lived-in. It is not like those cold, empty offices you see in movies. We have got a small kitchen area and the main living space is where we have set up our workstations. It can get a little crowded when more than three people are here at once, but we make it work. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, which helps us focus on our tasks. We handle all the administrative side of the foundation from this flat. Sometimes the neighbors’ kids are playing in the hallway, and you can hear them while we are trying to type up reports. We do not mind much. It is just part of being in a real community. We chose this spot because it was affordable and close to where some of us live. There is no big sign outside, just a small nameplate on the door so people know they have the right place. We keep our files in some old metal cabinets and we use regular kitchen chairs for extra seating. It is a humble setup, but it gets the job done for us every single day without any unnecessary drama.
