Nand Gaon Foundation

If you are looking for us, we are over at 509/114 Shyam Lal Baghya in Old Hyderabad. Lucknow is a busy city, and this neighborhood is no different. Nand Gaon Foundation is just a small group of us working out of an old building. It’s not a polished or corporate kind of place. We have stacks of books in the corners and chairs that don't quite match, but it works for us. We started this because we felt that people in the older parts of the city were being overlooked. We don't have a grand strategy or a fancy mission. We just open the doors and see what the day brings. Sometimes it's helping a student who can't afford books, and other times it's helping a family deal with a local problem. We don't spend money on advertising or fancy logos. Most people find us because a friend told them we were here. It can get pretty loud and crowded in this part of Lucknow, but we’ve been here so long we don’t even notice it anymore. We talk to people in plain English and don't bother with corporate jargon. We’re just trying to be a useful part of the neighborhood. It’s not always easy, and some days are frustrating, but we think it’s important to just be here for the folks who need a bit of a hand. We’re just local residents doing what we can.
