Prema Aajiwika Foundation

Prema Aajiwika Foundation is based in Shanti Nagar, which is in the Gumla area. We are located at the house of Joseph Baxla. He lives on Palkot Road, and that is where we do our work. The post office and the police station are both in Gumla, with the pincode being 835207. Shanti Nagar is a quiet neighborhood, and Joseph’s place is easy to find if you know the road. We focus on livelihood projects, which is what Aajiwika means. It is all about helping people find ways to make a living and support their families. Gumla is a place with a lot of hardworking people, but sometimes they need a little bit of help to get started or to find new opportunities. We sit in Joseph's front room and talk to people who come by. It’s not a formal meeting or anything like that. We just have some tea and listen to what’s going on. We don't have a big budget or a lot of staff members. It’s just us trying to share what we know and help others in the community. The roads here can be a bit bumpy, and sometimes the power goes out, but we keep going. It’s a very local effort, and we like being part of the Shanti Nagar community. We’re just regular people trying to help our neighbors in Gumla get by.
