Lord Dhanwantari Charitable Trust

The Lord Dhanwantari Charitable Trust is based in Village Ropari Nala. We are located near the Jaidevi post office in the Sundernagar tehsil of Mandi district. Our office is a very modest building that we’ve used for quite some time. It isn't a corporate office with fancy furniture. We just have a few desks, some filing cabinets, and a lot of heart for the work we do. We focus on helping the people in this rural area. Being in Ropari Nala means we are right in the middle of the community we serve. The surroundings are beautiful, with the hills and the sound of the nearby stream, but the life here can be tough for many. We spend our days meeting with locals and trying to organize support where it’s needed most. We don't have a big budget for advertising, so we don't bother with it. People know where to find us when they need help. The winters in Mandi can be quite cold, so we spend a lot of time huddled around a small heater in the office while we do our paperwork. It’s not glamorous work, and there’s always more to be done than we have time for. We don't have a mission statement on the wall; we just try to be useful every day. It’s a quiet life here in the village. We’re just a group of people trying to make a small difference in our corner of the world.
