Impactcode Social Development Organisation

Our group, Impactcode Social Development Organisation, is based out of D-9 in Raksha Vihar. We are pretty close to the Anchal Dairy in North Dehradun. If you smell the milk processing, you know you are in the right area. We work on social development projects. That sounds like a big term, but mostly it just means we look for ways to help the local community improve things a little bit at a time. We have a small office here. It is usually cluttered with posters and folders from whatever project we are currently focusing on. The team is small, just a few people from around Dehradun who wanted to do something useful. We spend a lot of time out in the field, so the office is often empty during the middle of the day. When we are there, we’re usually planning the next steps or writing up reports for the local authorities. It isn't glamorous work. There is a lot of talking to people and trying to figure out why things aren't working the way they should. We don't have a big flashy sign or anything, just a small one by the gate. The neighborhood is mostly residential, so it’s a pretty calm place to work when we aren't out on the streets. We try to keep our overhead low so we can put more into the actual work we do.
