Avefiles Foundation

Avefiles Foundation is based over in Kursoo Rajbagh, Srinagar. It’s a busy area, but we like being right in the thick of things. We don’t have a massive office or a team of experts. It’s just a few of us who decided to put our heads together and help out where we could. Srinagar has its challenges, and we see them every day. We aren't trying to change the whole world, just our little corner of it. People drop by the office in Rajbagh quite a bit. Sometimes they just want to talk, other times they need help with something specific like school fees or medical bills. We do what we can with what we have. It’s not always a lot, but it adds up. We try to be honest with people about what we can achieve. There’s no point in making big promises you can’t keep. We’ve been at this for some time now. You learn a lot about people when you do this kind of work. You see the hard parts of life, but you also see how people help each other out. We just facilitate that a bit. It’s a practical way to spend our time. No one here is looking for fame. We just want to be useful to the neighborhood and keep things running smoothly. The walls could use a new coat of paint and the chairs are old, but it’s home for us and it works. We’re just regular people trying to be decent neighbors in a big city.
