Aasara Welfare Foundation

Our place is over on Plot No. 110, right by Old Kamthi Road in Shantinagar. If you know the Vaishnavdevi Nagar area, we are pretty easy to find. Aasara Welfare Foundation started because some of us in Uppalwadi wanted to do something useful with our spare time. We aren’t experts at running a big organization, but we know the streets around here well enough to get by. The office is just a basic setup, nothing special to look at, but it works for what we do. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded when everyone shows up at once, especially on weekends when people aren't at their day jobs. We spend a lot of time talking to folks from the neighborhood about local issues. It’s not always smooth sailing, and there are days when we feel like we aren't getting much done, but then something small works out and it feels okay again. Shantinagar is a busy spot, lots of traffic moving past on the road all day. We’ve grown used to the noise over time. We don't really have a set routine every single day because things change. One day we might be dealing with one thing, and the next day it's something totally different. We just keep the doors open and see what happens next. It's been a few years now, and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but the work is more important than the decor.
