Kosi Vikash Welfare Foundation

Kosi Vikash Welfare Foundation operates out of a small space near the bus stand. If you are looking for us, just find Tulsi Kumar’s place. It’s right there where all the noise from the buses and the travelers is. We chose this spot because it is central. People from all over the Kosi region pass through here every single day. We wanted to be where the people are. This foundation isn't run by some big group from the city. It's just us, local folks who care about what happens to the families around the Kosi river. The area has its share of problems, mostly with the water and the way things get stuck after the rains. We mostly work around the Kosi area. We try to help out with small things that make a difference to the farmers and the workers. We don't have a lot of rules or a big corporate manual. If someone needs help, we see if we have the means to do it. Some days are slow and we just sit and talk with the people coming off the buses. Other days, we are out in the villages trying to see what’s going on. We keep it simple. It is not about being famous or getting big donations. We just want to see the Kosi area do a little better. Everyone knows everyone here, so we try to be honest and just get the work done without making a big fuss about it.
