Cure Empowerment Foundation

Our spot is at House Number 3/45 in Shankar Colony, over in the Ganganagar area. It’s a residential neighborhood, which we like because it keeps us close to the families we’re actually working with. Cure Empowerment Foundation started in a small room here and eventually took over more of the house as we got busier. The walls are covered in notes and schedules. We don’t have professional cleaners or a maintenance crew, so if a lightbulb goes out, one of us grabs a stool and fixes it. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. Most of the people around Sriganga Nagar know where we are because we’ve been here for a bit now. We focus on getting resources to people who are dealing with health issues or just need a bit of a boost to get back on their feet. There’s usually a pot of tea going in the kitchen and someone sitting at the dining table filling out forms. It’s not a sterile office environment at all. It feels more like a home, which is probably why people feel okay coming to us. We’ve had some long nights here trying to figure out how to stretch our budget to help one more person. It’s not always easy, and sometimes we get frustrated with how slow things move, but we keep at it. We just want to do right by our neighbors and keep this thing running as long as we can.
