Segnavento India Foundation

Segnavento India Foundation is based right here in Kothrud, at number 13 in Jeevanchhaya Society. It’s a quiet part of the LIC Colony on Paud Road. Most of the people around here have lived in this area for years, so it feels very much like a community. We aren't a big operation with glass walls and shiny desks. It’s more of a home-style setup where we sit together and plan things out. The society has a lot of trees, which is nice when it gets hot in the afternoons. Sometimes the milkman or the paperboy stops for a chat. We deal with various local issues and try to be useful to the folks nearby. It’s not always easy keeping things organized, but we manage. We’ve got some old chairs and a table that has seen better days, but they work fine for what we need. Living in Kothrud means everything is close by, which helps when we need to run errands for the foundation. People know us by name around the LIC Colony. We didn't want to be in a big commercial building because this feels more real. It's just a regular place where we put in the hours. There's usually someone around if you knock on the door during the day. We don't spend much on decorations, just the basics to keep the place running. It’s honest work and we like being part of the neighborhood.
