Lalan Devi Foundation

Lalan Devi Foundation is situated in Barmasiya, Katihar. The address is linked to Diwakar Pd. Singh’s place. Even though some people might mention East Champaran, we are right here in the Barmasiya area. It’s a local effort that we started to honor the memory of the family name. We don't have a lot of people working for us. It’s mostly just family and a few dedicated neighbors who want to do something good. We aren't a big corporation. We don't even have a secretary. If you come by, you’ll probably just find us sitting on the porch or working in the small office room we set up. We look at the things that matter to the people living in Katihar. Sometimes it’s about help with school supplies, and other times it’s about helping someone get their paperwork done for the government. We don't have any grand ideas. We just take things one day at a time. It's a bit messy sometimes, and we might not always have the answers right away, but we try. People know they can trust us because we’ve lived here our whole lives. We don't do this for the money. Most of the time, we are using our own resources to help others. It’s a simple life and simple work. We stay busy with the day-to-day things and our neighbors often stop by just to talk about what is happening on the street. We are just trying to be a positive part of the community here in Barmasiya without making a lot of noise.
