Sangam Mahila Welfare Foundation

We are located at House Number 164 in Narena, which is part of the Baraon area in Karchana. It’s out in Allahabad, or Prayagraj as many call it now. The office is actually in the care of Subhash Chandra Patel. It is a very local setup, right in the middle of the village area. It’s not like those big city offices with glass walls. Here, you see fields and cows nearby. We have a simple room where we sit and handle the foundation’s work. Most of what we do involves talking to the local women from the surrounding villages. They come over to discuss their problems or just to see what’s going on with our programs. It’s a quiet place for the most part, except when there is a local festival or a wedding nearby. Then it gets quite loud on the road. We don't have a lot of modern equipment, just the basics to keep things running. The 212307 area is where we belong. We’ve been part of this community for a long time. People know where the house is, so they just drop by without needing an appointment. We don't have a website or anything like that. We just talk to people face to face. It’s a practical way of working. Sometimes the power goes out, so we just sit outside in the shade and continue our conversations. It’s simple and honest work for the people around here.
