Setu-Welfare Foundation

Our place, Setu-Welfare Foundation, is located in Flat 201 at Sambhavnath Apartment. We are right on Bhandara Road in Wardhaman Nagar. Nagpur can get really hot in the summer, so we spent some time making sure the fans in the flat work properly. It’s a regular residential apartment building, so it feels more like a home than an office. We have some desks pushed against the walls and a lot of registers piled up. The traffic on Bhandara Road is pretty loud during the day, but you get used to the honking after a while. We started this foundation because there was a lot of talk about helping the community but not enough action. We aren’t experts in everything, but we try to help with whatever comes our way. The neighbors are mostly nice, though we try not to make too much noise during their nap times. Sometimes the lift in Sambhavnath is out of order, so we have to use the stairs, which isn't too bad since we’re only on the second floor. We drink a lot of chai while we discuss what needs to be done next. There is no big corporate structure here, just a few of us sitting around a table. We handle the paperwork and meet with people who need assistance. It’s a practical way to spend the day, and being in Wardhaman Nagar makes us feel connected to the city.
