Ira Dvipa Care Foundation

Down in PM Palem, specifically in the HB Colony area, you’ll find us at H NO.10-68. We go by Ira Dvipa Care Foundation. Visakhapatnam is a big city, but PM Palem feels like its own little world sometimes. We set this up because we wanted to have a place where people in Revenue Ward 4 could turn to. It’s not a corporate office. It’s just a house where we keep our things and meet up. Most of the time we are out in the colony. We see the kids playing and the old folks sitting outside, and we just try to be a part of that fabric. We don't have a polished manual on how to do things. We just learn as we go. Some days are slow and nothing much happens, other days we are running around trying to fix things. We don't talk about global impact or anything like that. We just care about what’s happening on our street and the streets nearby. It’s a lot of manual work and talking to people face to face. We think that’s better than sending emails all day. If you live near HB Colony, you probably already know where we are. We like the local vibe here. It’s honest work. We don’t try to pretend we are bigger than we are. We’re just the Ira Dvipa group from Ward 4, doing our bit. It's just a few of us trying to help the families around PM Palem with whatever they need.
