Wingss Charitable Foundation

We are situated right by G I C Saraswati Vihar in Pithoragarh. If you know the area, you know it’s a beautiful place but it can be hard living up here in the hills. Wingss Charitable Foundation started because we saw a lot of kids and families around the school area who needed an extra hand now and then. We aren't a big organization with a lot of funding. It’s mostly just us using what we have to help the people around us. The winters get quite cold, and that’s usually when we’re busiest. We don’t have a fancy office with leather chairs. It’s more of a community space where people drop in to talk. Sometimes we’re helping with school supplies, other times it’s just making sure an elderly neighbor is doing okay. Pithoragarh is a tight-knit place, and we like it that way. We try to keep things simple. There’s no need for complicated systems when you can just talk to someone face-to-face. We spend a lot of our time walking around the Vihar and checking in on folks. It’s a lot of work, and sometimes we feel like we’re barely keeping up, but we stay at it. Life in the mountains requires everyone to pitch in, and that is exactly what we are trying to do here at our little foundation near the G I C. It's a lot of walking but it's worth it for our community.
