Gsyk Foundation

We are located in Vishal Nagar, right near Parsoceft. The place is actually under the care of Bhagwan Patil. Islampur is a small town, so word travels fast around here and everyone knows where we are. We started Gsyk Foundation because we wanted to do something for the locals in Sangli. It’s not a grand office or a high-rise building. Just a simple room where we handle our daily business. Most of what we do involves helping people with their daily struggles. We don’t have a specific niche; we just help where we can. Sometimes it’s health related, other times it’s helping a neighbor get on their feet with a small project. Being in Islampur means we know our neighbors by name. It’s a different way of working than in the big cities. We don’t have a fancy board of directors or meetings in hotels. It’s just a small group of us who grew up around here and want to help out. We aren't trying to change the whole world, just our little corner of it. The weather here can get quite hot in the summer, but we keep the fans going and keep working through the day. People know they can just walk in if they need to talk or if they have a problem. We don't have a lot of rules about how we help, we just try to be useful to the folks around us. It’s a practical way to live, and it keeps us pretty busy most days of the week.
