Ashif Mannalamkunnu Foundation

Our group is located at Building No 15/354, which most locals just call Tharakath House. We are right in the Andatthode area, specifically near the Mannalamkunnu post office. If you know this part of Mannalamkunnu, you probably have passed by us at some point. The Ashif Mannalamkunnu Foundation isn't run out of a skyscraper. It’s a practical space. We spend a lot of time in this building just getting through the daily tasks. The rooms are filled with basic furniture and a lot of papers that seem to pile up no matter how much we sort them. Sometimes the fans are a bit loud, but they keep the air moving. We chose this spot because it's right where people are. You don't need a map to find Tharakath House if you live around here. It feels like a part of the community rather than some separate entity. We don't have a receptionist in a suit. Usually, whoever is closest to the door just says hello. It’s a bit informal, maybe even a little messy on the busy days, but we prefer it that way. Being in Building 15/354 means we are easy to reach. We deal with the usual stuff like power cuts or the rain coming down hard on the roof, but we just keep going. It’s a real place with real people working inside, trying to make the name Ashif Mannalamkunnu Foundation mean something to the folks nearby.
