Beetar Foundation

Beetar Foundation is based out in the village of Taraon, which is also called Debar. It’s in the Koraon post area of Allahabad. If you’ve been out this way, you know it’s mostly fields and small houses. Dharmendra Kumar is the one who helps keep everything moving here. Out in the village, life moves a bit slower but the problems are just as real as in the city. We don't have a high-tech setup. We mostly meet under a tree or in someone’s front yard to talk about what needs doing. Whether it’s helping with local farming issues or making sure the village kids have their books, we just try to be useful. It’s a long way from the big city offices of Allahabad, but we prefer it here. We know everyone’s name and we know which families are struggling. It’s not a formal thing with a lot of rules. We just see a need and try to fill it with whatever we have on hand. Dharmendra’s place is usually where people go when they don't know who else to ask for help. We don't make big speeches or promise things we can't do. We just work with what the land and the season give us. It’s a quiet life of helping out where we can, right here in Taraon. We’ve been here for years and we don't plan on going anywhere else.
