Chhatrapati Shahu Foundation

You can find Chhatrapati Shahu Foundation in the Erandawana area of Pune. We are located at Shop F-5, on Plot No 14, CTS No 41. It’s a busy part of town, which we like because it keeps us connected to what’s happening. We named the foundation after Shahu Maharaj because his ideas about helping everyone still mean a lot to us here. We aren't some high-flying NGO with a huge office. We’re just in a small shop space where the door is usually open. People from the nearby streets often drop in just to say hello or ask a quick question. Pune is growing so fast, and sometimes people get left behind. We try to bridge those gaps in our own small way. Our work isn't very complicated. It’s mostly about listening to people and connecting them with whatever help they might need, whether it's educational stuff or just some basic advice. The shop can get a bit cramped when we have a few people inside, but it makes for good conversations. We don't have a polished pitch or a fancy mission statement on the wall. We just have a desk, some chairs, and a willingness to help. It’s practical, local work that we’ve been doing for a while now.
