Usin Foundation

You can find us at House Number 68 in Gali Number 5. This is over in Pratap Nagar, which is part of Mayur Vihar Phase-I. It's a bit of a maze in these narrow lanes if you aren't used to the area. We’ve been in this house for quite some time now. The foundation operates right from here. It feels more like a home than a real office, which is how we prefer it anyway. The neighbors all know who we are. We see the same faces every morning when we open the doors. Sometimes the electricity goes out for an hour or two, but we just wait it out and talk. It’s pretty quiet inside most of the time. We have a few desks squeezed into the front room. There’s a small shop around the corner where we usually get our snacks and cold drinks. Mayur Vihar is a busy part of East Delhi, but Gali 5 stays mostly calm throughout the day. We don't have a fancy website or a big reception desk with a phone operator. It’s just a simple place where we get things sorted. People come by when they need to talk to us about something. We try to keep the place tidy, but with all the files and folders, it's a bit of a struggle. The walk from the metro station isn't too long if you know the shortcut. If you hit the main market, you've definitely gone too far. We just keep things moving.
