Meghalaya Autkarsh Foundation

Meghalaya Autkarsh Foundation is based in Tura, right on the Ampati Road. We are located at Hawakhana, which is a busy little part of the town. You can find us at Anjana Areng’s place. It’s a convenient spot because so many people pass by on their way to work or the market. We aren't a massive organization with a bunch of branches everywhere. It is just us here in Tura. The office is pretty simple, just enough space for us to get together and handle the daily tasks. We spend a lot of time on the road, though, because there is always something happening in the nearby villages that needs attention. Tura is a great place to be, and Hawakhana feels like the heart of it sometimes. We don't have a lot of money for advertising, so most people hear about us through word of mouth. That seems to work out better anyway. People trust their neighbors more than a flyer on a wall. We are just regular people who wanted to do something for our town. We don't have any fancy degrees in management or anything. We just figure things out as we go along. Some days are busier than others, especially when the rains come and everything slows down. But we stay open and keep at it. It’s just what we do to get by and help others. There is always tea if you stop by.
