Mateer Foundation

Mateer Foundation is located in Ward-14, which is part of Bahadurpur village. If you know where the Kawa Dih post office is, we are not too far from there. Azaz Alam is the person in charge here in Chiknauta. It is a rural area in the Patepur block of Hajipur. Things are a bit different out here than they are in the big city. We have a small office space that we share. It is mostly just a desk and some plastic chairs for when people come over to talk. The 843114 zip code covers our area. We see a lot of local folks coming in to discuss things. It can get quite dusty when the wind picks up across the open fields. We do not have any air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that squeaks a little when it is on high. It is a real place with real problems, like when the power goes out for hours. We just light a candle or use a torch and keep going with our work. We have lived in this village for a long time. Everyone knows Azaz. We do not spend money on fancy decorations for the office. The walls are just painted a plain, simple color. We focus on the work we have to do for the people living around here. It is honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until the sun finally sets.
