Maasmriti Welfare Foundation

Our office is at 1495 Sri Mahaveer Singh Smarak in Maha Naya Purwa, which is part of Rae Bareli. It’s an old building, and you can see the history in the walls. Maasmriti Welfare Foundation is run by a few of us who grew up in this town. We aren't a big city NGO with a lot of funding. We just have a small space where we keep our files and meet with the local people. Rae Bareli is a place where everyone knows everyone, so news travels fast. If someone has a problem with their paperwork or needs help with a local issue, they usually find their way to our door. The lights in the office flicker sometimes, and we have to use candles when the power goes out, which happens more often than we’d like. We don't have a fancy website or a social media manager. Most of our work is done face-to-face. It’s more personal that way. We spend our mornings going through local records and our afternoons meeting with families who need support. It can be tiring, and we don't always see results right away, but we keep at it. The floors are stone and stay cool in the summer, which is a blessing. We are just a local group trying to do right by the memory of the people who came before us in this town.
