Aavahan Foundation

Aavahan Foundation is located out in Pertabghur village, right near Biswanath Chariali. It is a quiet place compared to the big cities. We work out of Ankur Tanti’s place. It is not a big corporate headquarters, just a simple setup where we can sit down and get our tasks sorted. Living and working in Biswanath means we see the same faces every day. We are not fancy people. Most of us grew up around here or in nearby villages, so we know the local problems and the way things work. We started this because we saw a need for it in our own backyard. Some days the internet is slow, or the power goes out, but that is just how it is in rural areas. We do not let it stop us from doing what needs to be done. We spend a lot of time talking to neighbors and trying to figure out how to help out with local issues. It is very hands-on work. You will not find us wearing suits or using big complicated words. We just talk like normal people and work hard. The office is usually a bit dusty because of the roads, and there is always a bit of chaos with people dropping by to chat. We like it that way. It feels real and connected to the people around us. We are just a group of locals trying to make things a little better for everyone here without making any grand promises.
