Vasudaan Social Welfare Foundation

If you go down to the Saraf Bazar in Manmad, you’ll find us. Vasudaan Social Welfare Foundation is based right there, care of D N Baviskar. The bazar is always crowded and noisy, but it’s a good spot to be in the middle of everything. We are in the Nashik district, so things are pretty busy most of the time. Our office is tucked away, and it’s filled with old files and some plastic chairs for visitors. We’ve been around for a while, helping folks who come in from the nearby villages. Manmad is a big railway town, so there's always someone new passing through needing a bit of assistance. We don't have a big fancy website or anything like that. We just do the work. Sometimes we spend the whole afternoon just talking to people who are struggling. We drink a lot of tea while we work. The space is small, and when the market is in full swing, it can be hard to hear yourself think. But we like being where the people are. It’s honest work. We don't look for praise. We just handle the social welfare stuff that comes our way. The building is old, but it stays cool in the summer. We’re just local people trying to help other local people with whatever problems they bring through our door on a Tuesday afternoon or any other day of the week.
