Tomosoma Jyotirgamaya Foundation

Our office is at House No.2 on Ananda Path. It's tucked away right behind the MLA Hostel off RP Road. It's a busy part of town, but our little street is actually quite peaceful once you turn the corner. We chose the name Tomosoma Jyotirgamaya because it’s about moving from darkness to light, which is what we try to do in our small way. Most of what we do involves helping people who feel a bit lost or stuck in life. It's not a big operation with lots of employees. It's just a few of us who wanted to do something useful for the community. People drop by the house all the time. Sometimes they need help with education, and other times it's just about finding a bit of hope when things are tough. We keep our files in old cabinets and the tea is always on for visitors. We don't have a big budget for advertising, so we just rely on people telling their friends about us. If you're near the MLA Hostel, you’re very close to us. The address is 781006. We try to be practical. If someone needs something and we can do it, we just do it without much fuss or paperwork. It's a simple way of living and working. We’ve been here for a few years and the neighbors know us well. We just take things one day at a time here.
