Societal Care Youths Foundation

We are located over at Panchpherwa B Pur in Gorakhpur, specifically at Ravi Prakash Mishra’s place. Societal Care Youths Foundation is really just a bunch of us who wanted to do something useful with our time. Gorakhpur is a big place, but our little corner feels very local. We don't have a shiny office building or anything like that. We mostly work out of this space because it’s where we feel comfortable. There’s always a pot of tea going and someone coming by with some news or a problem they need help with. We started this foundation because we saw that the younger generation needed more stuff to do and better ways to get involved. It isn't always organized perfectly, and our paperwork might be in a few different stacks, but we get things done. We don't like to overthink things. If a neighbor needs something, we see if we can help. That’s the basic idea. Being in Uttar Pradesh, you learn to be patient with how things move. We don’t have big fancy meetings. Most of our best ideas come from just sitting around in the evening and talking. It’s a very hands-on way of doing things. We are just regular people from Gorakhpur trying to make the day a bit better for everyone around us. We don't need much more than that. It’s simple, honest work that we do right here in Panchpherwa. We just keep our doors open for anyone.
