Uks Sahayog Foundation

Uks Sahayog Foundation is set up at Tukaram Girigosavi’s place, over at Giribuwa Mala in Hatkanangle. It is out in the Kolhapur area, and it is a fairly quiet spot compared to the noise of the city. We are located at G. No. 1313. It is more of a home-based setup than a proper commercial office building, but it works fine for what we do. We do not have a big staff or any fancy signs outside on the road. It is mostly just us handling things as they come. Being in Hatkanangle means we are part of the local community, and we see the same people all the time. We spend our days keeping track of things and trying to stay on top of the work. The office area has a few desks and a lot of files that seem to grow every single week. It is a bit of a trek for some people to find us if they are not from around Kolhapur, but once you get to Giribuwa Mala, it is pretty easy to spot the right house. We usually have tea together in the afternoons and just talk about what needs to be done next. It is not a corporate environment at all. We just try to help out and do our bit from this small corner of Maharashtra. There is usually a dog sleeping near the gate and some plants on the porch. It feels like a home.
