Nanhe Pakshi Fondation

You can find us at 401-A, Chaudhary Complex, right in the middle of Veer Savarkar Block in Shakarpur. It’s a busy area, lots of shops and people moving around all the time, which is actually quite nice for what we do at Nanhe Pakshi Fondation. Being on the fourth floor means we have to climb a lot of stairs, but it gives us a bit of a view of the street below. We mostly work with children from the neighborhood. The space isn’t very big, so it gets quite loud when the kids are all here at once. We’ve got some old desks and a few bookshelves that we’ve put together over the years. It’s not the kind of place you’d see in a magazine. There are drawings pinned to the walls and stacks of paper everywhere. Shakarpur can be a bit overwhelming with the traffic, but once you get up to the office, it’s our own little world. We spend our afternoons helping with homework or just giving the kids a place to stay out of trouble. Some days are harder than others, especially when we run low on supplies or the cooling doesn't work right. But the families around here seem to appreciate having us around. We’ve been at this address for a while now and we’ve become part of the local routine. Just a small group of people trying to help out. It usually gets quiet after sunset.
