Two lines on one board. Software for people who cannot afford the paid alternative, and relief delivered by hand. They are listed together because the organisation treats them as one job.
All of it free, with no ads and no paid tier. Not free-for-now — free because charging the people these are for would defeat the point of building them.
Students in crisis
Most students in crisis suffer quietly. Therapy is expensive, carries stigma in a lot of families, and keeps office hours — which is exactly when the panic is not happening.
Kalpana talks like a friend, in Hinglish, at whatever hour you need it, and never files a report. It remembers your exams. It will sit with you through a study timer. It speaks 23 Indian languages.
It costs nothing, shows no ads, and it always will.
Communities without a radiologist
A scan is only useful if somebody can read it. In large parts of the country the nearest person qualified to do that is a day away, which in practice means the scan does not happen at all.
The platform takes health records and imaging, extracts what is in them, and tracks vitals over time so a pattern is visible without a specialist in the room.
Records stay on the patient’s own storage. HCF does not hold them.
Smallholder farmers
Agricultural advice exists. It is mostly written in English, mostly for people who already know the vocabulary, and mostly nowhere near a field.
KisanMitra takes a photograph of a leaf, or a spoken question in the language the question was thought in, and answers it against real agronomy sources, market prices and local conditions.
The half that does not compile. Volunteers pack and volunteers deliver — which is slower than a supply chain, and the reason the photographs here are of people we met.
Families and government schools
No logistics partner, no distribution contract. Volunteers pack and volunteers deliver, which is slower and smaller than a supply chain and is the reason the photographs on this site are of people we actually met.
Food drives run through the year. Winter clothing goes out in December, at night, because that is when it is needed and when people are findable.
People sleeping rough
Runs every December. Volunteers go out after dark with blankets, because the people who need them are not reachable during office hours.
Every photograph from this drive was taken by a volunteer who was carrying blankets a minute earlier.
Volunteer-shot, on the drive, on a phone. Nothing here was staged and nothing was licensed.
