Bimbisar Health Education And Help Foundation

Down in Nawada, in the village of Dhaniyawan, you'll find the Bimbisar Health Education And Help Foundation. We operate out of Prahalad Chauhan’s place in Dhaniyawan Tola. This is a rural part of the Nardiganj block, and life out here isn't always the easiest. We saw that people were having a hard time getting basic health information and education, so we decided to set this up. It’s a very local effort. Most of us grew up in these fields or around these houses. We don’t have a big office building or a fleet of cars. We mostly walk or use local transport to get around and talk to people. Our focus is on making sure folks understand their health and that the kids are getting some kind of schooling. It’s basic, grassroots work. We sit on charpais and talk to families about their lives. Sometimes we help with getting people to a doctor or finding books for a student. It’s not a polished operation, and we don’t always have the answers right away. But we’re from here, so we care about what happens in this village. People know they can come to the Tola and find us if they need help. It’s just how we do things in our part of Bihar. We take it one day at a time and try to be useful for our neighbors in Nawada.
