Dr. Raman Rajesh Foundation

You can find us at Jiya Lal Yadav’s place, house number eighty-seven in the village of Kiratpur. This is part of the Harsingh Pur panchayat in Alinagar block. We named this foundation after Dr. Raman Rajesh because we wanted to keep that spirit of helping others alive in our community. We are not a big office with people in suits. We are just local residents who sit on the porch and talk about how to make life better for the people living in these rural blocks. Many families here struggle with things that people in the city don’t even think about. We try to focus on those small, everyday problems. It is a lot of running around from one house to another. We don't have a huge staff, so everyone chips in when they can. Sometimes we help with local health issues, other times it is about getting resources for the farmers. It is very informal. If someone is in trouble, they just come over to the house and we see what we can do. We don't have a lot of money, but we have people who care. That is usually enough to get something started. We aren't looking for praise or anything like that. We just live here and want our village to be a place where everyone gets a fair chance at a decent life. It takes time, but we don't mind the wait.
