Gavista Health Foundation

Gavista Health Foundation is located over in Rishra, Hooghly. We are actually tucked away in Bangur Park, specifically on the 2nd Lane. The office is at Arghya Banerjee’s place, number 57. It’s a quiet residential area, which is nice for us because we can focus on the work without too much noise. We’ve been running things from here for a bit now. It’s not a big hospital or anything like that, just an office where we manage the health foundation’s activities. We spend a lot of our time coordinating things and making sure the supplies or information get to the right people. Since it’s a C/O address, it feels very personal, like a family business almost. We have our files and our computers set up in a couple of rooms. The neighborhood is full of trees and it’s a bit of a walk from the station, but we like it. Most of the people working here are locals from Hooghly. We don't have a fancy website or a huge team. It’s just us, Arghya, and a few others keeping things moving. We deal with a lot of paperwork and phone calls throughout the day. Sometimes we have visitors who come to talk about health issues or looking for help, and we just sit them down and have a chat. It’s a very low-key operation but we take the work seriously.
