Lakhimpur Siksha Sangharsh Foundation

Lakhimpur Siksha Sangharsh Foundation is based out of Kafara. You can find us at Vivek Singh’s place. It’s a quiet area, and being in a small town like this means everyone knows each other. We don't have a big office building or anything like that. It’s just a house where we handle all our foundation work. Most of the time, we’re sitting in the front room going over papers or talking to people from the village. Education is what we focus on, mostly because there’s a lot of work to be done in this part of Lakhimpur. The postal code is 262723 if you’re looking for us on a map. Life here is slow and steady. We don't have fancy computers or a big staff. It's just a few of us trying to make things better for the kids around here. Sometimes the rains make it hard to get around the roads in Kafara, but we manage. We aren't doing this for any big recognition. It’s just something that needs to be done. You’ll find Vivek or one of us around most afternoons. We keep our records in old steel cupboards and use a simple wooden table for our meetings. It feels more like a home than an office, which is fine by us. People know they can just walk in and talk without needing an appointment. We have been here for years and we keep things moving as best as we can.
