Charitarth Welfare Foundation

Over in Teachers Colony in Village Chandmari, you’ll find Charitarth Welfare Foundation. We are at 63/1, right in the Doiwala area of Dehradun. The foundation has been around this neighborhood for a bit now. It’s a quiet spot, which is nice because we can focus on our work without too many distractions. We mostly handle welfare activities for the people living in and around Doiwala. It’s a small operation. We don't have a fancy lobby or a receptionist. Usually, whoever is closest to the door just opens it when someone knocks. Our days are filled with a mix of administrative tasks and actually going out to meet people. We have a lot of files piled up on the desks because we’re always tracking something or other. The building is just a regular house that we’ve converted into our working space. Sometimes it feels a bit cramped, especially when we have meetings with more than three or four people. We aren't trying to be some massive entity. We just want to do right by our neighbors in Chandmari. The tea kettle is almost always on, and we spend a lot of time just talking through the issues that come up. It isn't always smooth sailing, and we definitely make mistakes, but we’re honest about what we can achieve. It’s just us doing what we can with what we’ve got.
