Dayalu Foundation

Our place is out in Pardi village, which is part of the Lodhika taluka. We operate out of Ranchhodbhai Shivabhai Rathod’s property. It’s a rural spot, very different from the big city offices. Life moves a bit slower here in the village. We’ve got our setup here because it’s where the people are. Most days you’ll find us just sitting and figuring out the next steps for the Dayalu Foundation. It’s not a formal office building or anything like that. It’s more of a community space where things happen naturally. We don’t have fancy furniture or air conditioning running all day. The air is fresh though, and you can hear the birds. Getting here takes a bit of a drive if you’re coming from the main town, but once you arrive, it’s peaceful. Ranchhodbhai has been kind enough to let us use this space for our activities. We handle the paperwork and the meetings right here in the village. People just walk in when they need to talk. It’s a very open way of doing things. We don't really have set hours that are strictly followed, we just work until the job is finished. Pardi is a small place, so everyone knows where to find us. It’s practical for what we do, staying close to the ground and the local folks. We’re just part of the landscape here.
