Swajon Foundation

Swajon Foundation is basically just us working from Md. Mizanul Hoque’s place in Ramna Basantapur. It’s a simple setup. We don’t have any big signs or a lot of equipment. Most days are spent talking to people who live nearby. We just handle things as they come. It’s a quiet area, and we like it that way. There isn’t a lot of fuss. If someone has a problem, they come over and we see if we can do anything. We don’t have a big budget or anything like that. We just use what we have. Sometimes we are out in the fields or visiting other houses. The office part is just a room where we keep our records. It’s a bit dusty but it does the job. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not. We are just local people working in our own neighborhood. We’ve lived here our whole lives, so we know the area well. It’s practical, everyday work. We don't use big words or have long meetings. We just decide what needs to be done and then we do it. It’s been working out okay so far. We keep a few ledgers and a pen handy for when people drop by. There is no need for anything more than that. It’s just us doing what we can with what we’ve got in Basantapur. It keeps us busy and the work gets done.
