Krupamrut Foundation

We are situated in the B Ward of Mangalwar Peth in Kolhapur. The address is 1731/38. If you know Kolhapur, you know that Mangalwar Peth is an old area with a lot of history and very narrow streets. It can be quite a task to find a parking spot around here, so most of us just use scooters or walk. The building we are in is old, and it has that specific smell of old stone and wood. We have a small setup here that serves as our main base. It is not a modern office with glass walls or air conditioning. We have fans that creak a bit and windows that look out over the street life below. We decided to start the foundation because we saw a lot of people in the local community who were struggling with basic things. We don't have a huge fund or a team of experts. It is just local people from the peth who want to help out. We spend a lot of time drinking coffee and discussing how to handle the next project. Sometimes we disagree on how to do things, but we always figure it out in the end. It is a very grassroots way of working. We are part of the neighborhood, and everyone around here knows where to find us if they need anything. It is simple, local, and honest work.
