Welfare Voluntary Action Foundation

You can find us on the first floor of the Azad Residency, which is located at A-01 in Begumpur village. Even though it says village, it’s very much part of the growing Greater Noida area. The building is relatively new, but our office already has that lived-in feel. There are boxes in the corners and charts taped to the walls. We have a view of the street from the window, so we see the traffic and the people heading to work. It’s a busy environment. We usually have the radio playing softly in the background while we type up reports. The stairs are a bit steep, so we tell people to take their time coming up. We don't have a big sign outside, just a small one on the door. Our team is small and we all do a bit of everything, from making tea to filing taxes. We don't use any complicated systems. Most of our work is done on one old laptop and a few notebooks. It’s a bit messy sometimes, but we know where everything is. We don't try to impress anyone who visits. We just offer them a seat and get straight to the point. The area around Azad Residency is always changing with new shops opening up. We’ve been here for a while and we like the energy of the place. It’s a solid spot for us to get our work done.
