Befine Human Life Care Foundation

If you walk down No.2, P.T.Rajan Salai in K.K.Nagar, you will find our office. It’s a very busy street in a very busy part of town. There are shops everywhere and the sidewalks are always full of people. We are tucked away in one of the buildings there. It is not the quietest place to work because of the buses and horns, but we like being in the middle of everything. The room we work in is small and usually a bit cluttered with papers and supplies. We don't have a receptionist, so if someone knocks, one of us just gets up and opens the door. It’s very informal. We have a small fridge for our lunch and a window that looks out onto the street. K.K.Nagar has changed a lot over the years, with more traffic and taller buildings popping up. We have stayed in this spot because it is easy for people to reach us. Sometimes the elevator in the building acts up, so we end up taking the stairs. It keeps us fit, I guess. We don't use any fancy software or big systems. We just write things down and make sure things get done. It’s a simple operation run by people who live right here in the city.
