Shri Aaiji Foundation

Our office is in Bavdhan, Pune, right across from the Talathi office. We are in apartment F/102 in the Dreams Rhythm building. It’s a pretty easy place to find if you are in the area. We are just a local foundation. We aren't some big NGO with hundreds of employees. It’s just a few of us using a residential flat to organize our work. Bavdhan has changed a lot lately, getting much more crowded, but we still try to keep that local feeling. We spend a lot of time dealing with the usual day-to-day stuff that comes with running a small organization. It’s not always glamorous. Sometimes it’s just a lot of typing and phone calls. We don't have a professional spokesperson. If you call, you’ll just talk to one of us. We try to keep things honest and open. We don't like using a lot of jargon or pretending to be something we aren't. We are just neighbors who decided to put our heads together for a cause. We have our ups and downs, and some days are slower than others, but we keep going. It’s just about being there for the community and doing what we can with the space we have. Most of our work is done right here at the kitchen table or on the balcony.
