Keti Smile Foundation

We are out in Hivare, near Narayangaon in the Junnar Taluka area of Pune. Our place is on Gat Number 1109, Khate Number 542A. It’s a bit of a drive to get out here, but we like the quiet compared to the city. Keti Smile Foundation operates from this rural spot, and it suits the way we work. We don't have a lot of staff, just a few of us who grew up around here and wanted to do something useful. Most days involve a lot of walking around and talking to the local folks in the village. It’s not a corporate environment by any stretch of the imagination. We might be sitting on the porch discussing plans one minute and then out in the field the next. The air is better out here, even if the roads can be a bit bumpy. We started this foundation without much of a plan, just a feeling that we could help out. Over time, it’s become a full-time thing for us. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. We just have our names on the gate and a phone that rings when someone needs help. It’s a simple life, and we like it that way. We aren't looking to grow into a massive organization. We just want to keep things running smoothly for the people in our immediate area.
