Nityaseva Mahila Foundation

Nityaseva Mahila Foundation is based in Bhabua, right behind the Nagar Palika office. If you are walking around the back of the municipality building, you will find house number 321. That is where Kalawati Devi runs things. Kaimur is a nice area but it has its challenges for women. We decided to set this up to give the local ladies a place to talk and help each other out with their daily problems. It is a very simple setup. We have a few benches and a lot of registers where we write everything down by hand. It gets quite noisy because of the government office nearby, but we have gotten used to it. We do not have a fancy website or anything like that. People mostly hear about us by word of mouth in the market or at the temple. We try to help with small things like learning a new craft or understanding some paperwork for a government scheme. Sometimes we just sit and drink tea and figure out how to solve a dispute in the neighborhood. It is very informal and we like it that way. We are not professionals, just women from Bhabua who want to make things a little easier for our families and our neighbors. Every day is a bit different and we just take it as it comes. We do not have big meetings, just regular people trying to do some good.
