Nectarlife Welfare Foundation

The Nectarlife Welfare Foundation is way out in the Uttara Kannada district, specifically in a place called Siddapura. Our address is actually a residence, Shakuntala R Dhavaskar’s house, at 2/327 II in the Mariabail Kondli Siddapura area. It’s a very different vibe from the big cities, much greener and quieter, especially when the monsoon hits and everything turns that bright shade of green. We work out of this house because it makes sense for the area, and everyone around here knows where it is anyway. The air is fresh, but the roads can be a bit of a challenge when it rains heavily for days. We spend a lot of time just sitting on the porch or at the main table handling whatever comes our way. It’s not like those big corporate offices with glass walls; we just have our simple rooms and the sound of the birds outside. Sometimes the power goes out for hours, so we just wait it out or do things by hand. Siddapura is a small town, so word travels fast, and people often drop by without calling first. We just offer them some water and listen to what they have to say. It is a slow pace of life, but we like it that way because it feels more real. The 581355 area is our home, and we just try to keep things moving along as best as we can.
