Bhaunichara Women Empowerment Foundation

You can find us in Bhubaneswar, specifically at Sahoo Residency in the Rangamatia area. We are up on the 4th floor in Flat No-B406. It’s a residential building, which keeps things feeling personal and low-key. We focus on women around Khorda and the rest of Orissa. Being in a flat means we don’t have a shop front, so people usually call us or come by after talking to someone we know. It’s a quiet space where women can come and talk about their lives or get some help with starting a small business or learning a new skill. We don't have a huge board of directors or a bunch of managers. It’s just a few of us working from this apartment. Bhubaneswar is a growing city, and there’s a lot of work to be done if you look for it. We stay busy with various projects in the Khorda district. The 751017 area is our home base. We aren't into big marketing campaigns or printing expensive brochures. We just focus on helping one person at a time and seeing where that goes. The DHPL building is easy to find if you know Rangamatia. We’ve set up our little office here to be a safe spot for anyone who needs it. It’s not a polished corporate office. It has a small kitchen and a living area where we sit and chat about the day. It’s more like a home than a business. That’s how we like to keep things.
