Lampstand Welfare Foundation

You can find Lampstand Welfare Foundation over in the Ravindranath Tagore ward of Jagdalpur. We’re located in Neelamber Mishra Dulari Gali at Isheardhan Mishra’s place. It’s a busy part of town and we’ve been here for a while now. We chose the name because we wanted to be like a small lamp for folks going through a hard time. Jagdalpur is a great place, but plenty of people here struggle with basic things. We focus mostly on local welfare work. That means helping families get by, looking after kids who need extra support for school, and things like that. We don’t have a big team of professionals, just some local people who care about this ward. The street where we are is quite narrow, so we don't get big cars coming through, mostly just people walking over to talk. We listen to what’s going wrong in their lives and see if we can help or find someone else who can. It’s very grassroots. We don’t spend money on ads or fancy signs. Most people hear about us from their neighbors. Sometimes we help out with medical costs or getting clothes for kids. We just take it one day at a time. It isn't always easy to keep things running, and we can’t solve every problem, but we try our best. Being right here on the ground means we see the real issues every day.
