Kayastha Social Welfare Foundation

We are located right on Thakurwari Road in Jehanabad, at Akshaywat Kr Sinha’s place. It’s pretty easy to find if you know the local police station area. Most people around here know the spot. We started the Kayastha Social Welfare Foundation because we saw things in our community that needed some work. It wasn't anything planned out in a big office. It was just a few of us sitting around talking about Jehanabad. The foundation is mostly about seeing what people need day to day. We don't do anything flashy. Sometimes it’s just about helping a neighbor or getting a group together to fix something small. The street gets busy during the day, but that's how it is in this part of town. We’ve been here for a bit now. There isn't some big staff or anything like that. It is just real people from the neighborhood trying to make the place a bit better. We aren't looking for awards. If someone has a problem, they usually know they can come by and talk to us. It feels right to do this from a local home instead of a cold building. We keep our records in a simple way. The work is steady. We don't have a fancy website or a lot of posters. Most of what we do spreads by word of mouth in the tea shops nearby. It's a quiet way of working but it suits us and the people we know here.
