Ujjwalroshni Foundation

We are based out of Nawada Tola in the Dalsingsarai block of Samastipur. If you are looking for us just ask for Ajeet Kumar’s place. It is a small village and everyone knows everyone else. We don't have a proper office building or anything like that. We just work out of a few rooms and the courtyard. It is a very rural area so we deal with things like power cuts and muddy roads all the time. We started this because we saw that a lot of people in the village were struggling with basic things. We try to help with school books for the kids or helping the older folks understand their paperwork. It is not glamorous work and we don't get paid for it. We are just locals who care about our village. Sometimes we sit under the trees to talk because it is cooler than being inside. We don't have a mission statement or any of those corporate things. We just see a problem and try to fix it if we can. Some days are slow and we just sit and talk with the neighbors. Other days we are running around trying to get things sorted. It is a bit of a mess sometimes but we are doing our best with what we have here. We are just regular people from Samastipur trying to help our own. It is simple and it is our life.
