Human Existence And Development Foundation

The Human Existence And Development Foundation is run from House Number 80 in Village Badla, which is near Meeran Pur in Patiala district. We are based out of Nasib Kour’s home, where she lives with Labh Singh. It is a proper village setting, far away from the noise of the big city. We think that being out here keeps us grounded in what real people actually need. In Badla, everyone knows where this house is, so people just walk in when they have something to discuss. It is not an office with a receptionist or anything like that. It is just a family home that we use to organize our work. We spend a lot of time out in the fields or sitting under the trees talking to the other villagers. Patiala is a big district, but our corner of it is quite peaceful. We don't have a lot of resources, but we make do with what we have. Most of the work is just talking to people and figuring out small ways to make things better. It is not about big projects or fancy reports. It is just about being neighbors and helping each other out. We keep it very simple here because that is how life in the village is. There is no need for big words when you are just trying to help your own community get by each day.
