Karunaamay Helping Hand Foundation

Karunaamay Helping Hand Foundation is based out of Neelgiri Apartment in Indore. We are in unit F-608. It’s one of those big apartment complexes where you can get a bit lost if you don't know the block letters, but once you find us, it’s pretty straightforward. The office is really just a flat that we’ve filled with desks and some donated books. It’s a bit cluttered, to be honest. We have boxes in the corners and some old posters on the walls. Indore is a fast-growing city, but inside Neelgiri, it feels a bit more contained and quiet. We’ve been here for a while now and the security guards at the gate know us by name. We don't have a big budget for fancy decor, so we use what we have. Most of our chairs were given to us by people in the building who didn't need them anymore. It’s that kind of place. We spend a lot of our time on the phone or coordinating with folks outside the complex. When it gets too hot in the afternoons, we turn on the old ceiling fans and they hum along while we work. We aren't trying to be a big corporate entity. We’re just a small group of people working out of an apartment to help out where we can. It’s simple, maybe a bit messy, but it’s where we do our best thinking. It feels real to us and that's what matters.
