Samridhi Helping Foundation

Our place, Samridhi Helping Foundation, is located in the basement of A-145 in Dayanand Colony. That is part of Lajpat Nagar-IV. If you know South Delhi, you know Lajpat Nagar is always humming with people and markets. Dayanand Colony is a bit more residential than the main market area, but it still has a lot of energy. Being in the basement, we don't get much natural light, so we have to keep the lamps on all day. It makes the place feel a bit cozy, I guess. We have a lot of storage shelves because it's a basement, and we use every bit of space we have. The entrance is just a small set of stairs leading down from the street level. We have been at this address for a good while. You can hear the cars and people passing by above us, but it’s muffled. Sometimes it gets a bit damp when it rains heavily, but we manage. We spend our days mostly organizing things and keeping track of our records. It’s not a fancy office with glass walls or anything. It’s just a practical room where we can sit and focus. People usually find us by looking for the A-145 house number. We are just a small group of people doing our work in this corner of Lajpat Nagar. We keep a jar of biscuits on the main desk for anyone who gets hungry during the long afternoons between lunch and heading home.
