Abhishru Life Foundation

Our foundation, Abhishru Life Foundation, is located in Udgir. We work out of the Bhopnikar Patil Niwas on Nanded Road. If you are looking for us, we are care of Dr. Shivkumar M. Patil. It’s a family home as much as it is a place for the foundation. Udgir is a smaller town, so things are a bit more relaxed than in the big cities like Mumbai or Pune. We don't have a dedicated office building. Instead, we use a portion of the house to manage everything. It makes the work feel very personal. Often, you’ll hear the sounds of the household in the background while we’re working. Nanded Road is one of the main ways into town, so there is a fair bit of movement outside. We started this because we wanted to do something for the people in our own town and the nearby villages. It isn't a corporate operation. We don't have many employees, just a few of us who care about the work. We sit around the main table to discuss our plans. Sometimes we have visitors who come by for a chat or to ask for advice. We don't have a formal reception desk. You just come in and find one of us. It’s a simple, honest way of working. We try to help with life and health issues around here. It’s not always easy, but being right here in the community makes a big difference. It’s just how we operate. We have been in this building for a few years and the walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but it works for what we need.
