Goldvision Micro Benefit Foundation

We are based out in Village and Post Bartara, right along the NH-24 in the Shahjahanpur area. Our specific spot is easy to miss if you are driving too fast on the highway, so we usually tell people to look for the post office nearby. The pin code here is 242406. It is a very rural setting, which means we get a lot of fresh air, though the dust from the big trucks on the road can be a bit much in the dry season. Inside, we have a pretty basic setup with a few desks and some cupboards where we keep all the records and ledgers. We don't have any fancy computers or high-tech gear; it's mostly just pens and paper and old-fashioned work. In the winters, it gets quite cold here, so we all wear heavy sweaters while we sit and do our tasks. Lunch is usually brought from home in tiffins, and we eat together in the back room before getting back to it. The village life is quiet, but since we are near the main road, there is always some movement going on. We have a small veranda where we sometimes sit when the power goes off and it gets too hot inside the rooms. People from the nearby farms stop by occasionally just to check in or ask for help with their paperwork. It’s a slow and steady kind of life here in this part of Uttar Pradesh. We just try to get through our daily chores.
