Cheta Sandha Bidhabash Foundation

You can find us at 10 Tewar Para Road over in the 700149 part of Kolkata. It’s an older neighborhood, and we’ve been part of it for a while now. Cheta Sandha Bidhabash Foundation is run by a small team of locals. We don’t have any fancy corporate backers or a big marketing budget. We just have this small office on a residential street. Kolkata is a busy city, and Tewar Para Road has its own rhythm that we've grown used to. We try to keep up with everything. Some days the humidity makes it hard to get moving, but we stay at it anyway. We deal with a lot of different people coming through the doors. Most of them are just neighbors or people from the nearby blocks. We do what we can with the resources we have. It’s not always pretty, and sometimes the filing system gets a bit messy, but the work gets done eventually. We aren’t trying to be the biggest foundation in the city. We just want to do our part right here in our own backyard. It’s a humble setup, but it’s ours. We have a couple of desks and some old chairs and a lot of patience. It’s a place where work actually happens without all the extra noise. We don't spend time on fancy speeches. We just handle the requests that come in from the community. It is a slow process but we like it.
