Prosesta Foundation

Prosesta Foundation is located in Sumoimuria Gaon, which is in the Ouguri area of Jorhat. We are at Pabon Saikia’s place. It’s a very local, village-style setting. You won't find any big signs or glass windows here. Jorhat is a beautiful place, but like anywhere else, it has its own set of struggles. We decided to get together and start this foundation to help out where we can. It’s mostly family and friends involved. We meet on the porch or in the main room and talk about what we need to do. It’s a very informal way of working, but it works for us. We don't have a big corporate structure or anything like that. We just care about our village and the people living in it. Sometimes the internet is slow or the power cuts off, but we are used to that. We just keep going. People from the village stop by all the time, sometimes just for a cup of tea and a talk. We don't have a lot of resources, so we have to be careful with how we spend what we have. It’s about being practical and helping our neighbors. That’s really all there is to it. We've been here for years and plan to stay for as long as we are needed. It’s just how things go in Jorhat and we wouldn't have it any other way.
