Siliguri, West Bengal A community seva initiative since 2020
Humrahi means fellow traveller — the one who walks beside you. That daily-meals chapter is complete. Now we're growing health, a greener city, and free skilling that outlasts any single drive.
1,500 / 1,500 days of daily meals, never one missed — where it all began
On the Ground
Since COVID-2020: 1,500 days of daily meals, cleanup drives, schools adopted, health camps, blood donation.
Building the Ecosystem
A living network connecting sustainable enterprises, NGOs, and communities across Siliguri, with Humrahi working to keep those connections strong.
One kitchen in a lockdown became five years of showing up. Here is how it grew.
When the 2020 lockdown cut families off from their next meal, a handful of us started cooking and handing out ration. No forms, no questions — just food to whoever needed it.
1,500 / 1,500 consecutive days of daily food distribution — warm meals for patients' families outside hospitals, 2022 to February 2026, without missing a single day.
This is the ground we stand on.
The food distribution story →
From that trunk, three pillars grow today — health and dignity, a cleaner and greener city, and free skilling that helps people stand on their own.
See what we do now ↓Healthcare that comes to you. Free checkups brought into communities, and blood drives that build a culture of giving — treating care as a basic act of dignity.
Free Camps & Drives · Ongoing Our health camps programme →Protecting the planet and the kids who'll inherit it. Cutting plastic, and recycling and upcycling waste into what's useful — cleanup and plogging drives across the city.

Standing beside the schools we've adopted — supplies, upkeep and steady presence, so the kids who'll inherit this city get a fair start.

Not all seventeen — only the nine we genuinely act on, on the ground in Siliguri. Grouped by the way we show up.
Cumulative figures since 2020, counted across daily meal service, free health and blood-donation camps, and adopted-school programmes.
On June 5, 2026, Siliguri witnessed its first plogging event — volunteers cleaning railway tracks and road corridors alongside a run.
Bags of collected waste. Hands that didn't stop. Energy no brief could manufacture. This is what community looks like.
Join the next one →"Lasting change grows from the conditions inside a community — where people, businesses, and purpose find each other and stay."
Humrahi began by feeding people in a crisis. But the crisis revealed something deeper: communities that endure aren't the ones with the most help from outside — they're the ones with an ecosystem around them.
We are building that ecosystem in Siliguri and beyond. A network where sustainable enterprises thrive, support each other, and grow alongside the communities they serve. Where waste becomes livelihood. Where an NGO's reach doubles because someone is working alongside them.
The pieces connect. A warm meal opens the door; a cleanup drive clears the ground; an adopted school keeps a child in class; a health camp keeps a family earning; and a local enterprise turns that momentum into a livelihood that lasts. Each piece makes the next one possible.
Humrahi works at the edges of this network rather than its centre, holding the connections together and staying present, consistent, and accountable.
We connect businesses operating sustainably to communities and markets that need them.
We add ground presence and community networks to missions other NGOs already lead, so their reach goes further.
Turning waste into value — livelihoods and closing the loop on how communities consume.
Food, schools, health — the foundations without which no ecosystem holds.
Food, blood, schools, a greener city: five years of just turning up. Pick a thread, or watch it all drift by.
