Anupa Jan Kalyan Foundation

Our group is based out of Usari village, which is part of the Buzurg area in the Hasanpura block. If you are looking for us, we are at Jamuna Bhagat’s place. Siwan is where we operate from, and the 841416 pincode covers our little corner of Bihar. It is very much a rural setup here. You will not find any glass buildings or corporate desks in Usari. We sit together and talk about what needs doing in the village and the nearby blocks. Sometimes the roads are a bit dusty or muddy depending on the rain, but that is just how it is in Siwan. We know the people around here because we live here too. It is not a job where we go home at five; since we are in the village, someone is always knocking on the door with a question or something to share. Jamuna Bhagat has been helpful in getting this whole thing running from his home. We handle the paperwork on an old table and try to keep everything straight. It is quiet most of the time, except when the kids are playing nearby or the tractors go past on the way to the fields. We do not have much of a formal schedule, we just deal with things as they come up. It is honest work and we do not try to make it sound like more than it is. Just local folks helping out our own community in Siwan.
