Savitreechya Lekee Foundation

Savitreechya Lekee Foundation. Based in Kodoli at Chetan Nivas. It's a small place. We started because things around here weren't always easy for everyone. We spend a lot of time just talking to the neighbors. It’s mostly about helping out where we can. Surekha runs things from the house mostly. It gets busy during the day when people stop by. We aren't a big office with lots of desks. Just a few chairs and some registers. People come for advice or if they need help with some paperwork for their kids. It’s quiet in the afternoons but the mornings are a bit of a rush. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that. We just do the work. The weather gets pretty hot in this part of Maharashtra so we try to get things done early. Sometimes it feels like we aren't doing enough but we keep at it. Life in the village moves at its own pace anyway. We’ve known most of the people here for years. It’s not like those big city places where nobody knows their neighbor. Here, everyone stops to say hello. We just try to keep things going and make sure the girls in the area have what they need for school. It’s simple work but someone has to do it. Anyway, that is pretty much what goes on here daily at the foundation.
