Shri Sarveshwari Microbenefit Foundation

Our foundation is based in the Samney Ghat area of Varanasi. We are at Kundan Singh’s place in Hari Om Nagar. Varanasi is a very old and spiritual city, and Samney Ghat has its own charm. The office is just a part of a residential building. It’s not a professional business park or anything like that. We have a few desks set up in a room where we handle the microbenefit work. There are always people walking by on the street, going towards the river. It can get quite humid here, especially during the monsoon season. We don't have a big sign outside, just enough so people can find the right door. Most of our time is spent meeting with locals who need help with small financial matters. We sit down, have some water, and talk through the papers. It’s a slow process sometimes, but we don't mind. The 221010 area is a good spot to be. We are close to the people we serve. We don't use any fancy language or have big presentations. It’s just us doing our daily tasks. Sometimes the street gets flooded after heavy rain, and we have to wait a bit for the water to go down before we can leave. That’s just life in Varanasi. We are here every day, trying to keep things moving for the folks in Hari Om Nagar. It’s a small operation, but it keeps us busy enough.
