Ramniwas Yogesh Mandhani Foundation

Our foundation operates out of a house in Karwa Nagar, specifically House No. 1-28-4118/3. It’s a real house, not a commercial building, so it has a very different feel to it. Ramniwas Yogesh Mandhani Foundation was started right here in these rooms. We’ve converted the front area into a workspace, while the back is where we store supplies and have our small kitchen. It’s a family-style environment. We don’t have formal titles or strict rules about when you can take a break. As long as the work gets done, everyone is happy. Karwa Nagar is a quiet neighborhood, mostly families and small shops. People often stop by just to say hello or ask what we’re up to. We’ve become a bit of a fixture in the street. The gate squeaks a bit, and we keep meaning to oil it, but we always forget. Inside, it’s mostly just desks and a few old cupboards filled with records. We do a lot of our thinking while sitting on the porch during lunch. It’s easier to talk things through when you’re not staring at a computer screen. We don't have a big budget for fancy furniture or decor. Most of what we have is functional and has been with us for years. We like the history of this place. It reminds us why we started doing this work in the first place. It’s just us, working hard in a quiet corner of town.
