Risingup Foundation (Ruf)

If you are looking for the Risingup Foundation, or Ruf as some of us call it, you have to head out to Khangabok Khullakpam. We are located in Leikai Part II in Thoubal. It is a quiet area in Manipur, specifically in Athokpam, and it definitely has that small-town feel. The address is 795138, and we are right there among the houses and the local shops. It’s a humble place, honestly. We don’t have a big staff or a massive office complex. Most of the time, it’s just a couple of us sitting around a table with some paperwork or talking about what needs to happen next. The roads around here can be a bit dusty depending on the season, but it’s home. We are glad to be situated in Thoubal because it keeps us connected to the local life here. We don't really do the whole corporate thing with polished presentations. We just have our space in Khangabok and we do our best with what we have. People usually stop by if they need something, and since it’s a small community, word gets around pretty fast anyway. It is a practical way to operate. We don't need a lot of bells and whistles to do what we do. Just a roof over our heads and a place to organize our thoughts. It’s simple and it works for us. Our door is usually open during the day, so people just walk in.
