Keninkai International Foundation

You can find us in Nampally, which is always full of life and sounds. We are located near the D. Masjid, so it is never really quiet around here, which we actually like. Keninkai International Foundation started because we saw things that needed doing right on our own street. The address is 14-1-494/1 and it’s a modest place. We don't have a receptionist or a big lobby. Usually, whoever is closest to the door just opens it when someone knocks. Hyderabad heat can be tough in this part of town, but we’ve got our routine down. We drink a lot of tea and handle whatever comes our way. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but the work is more important than how the office looks. We spend a lot of time talking to the neighbors and seeing what’s going on in the community. It’s not a corporate job where you wear a suit every day. We wear what's comfortable and focus on the tasks at hand. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just wait it out or work by the windows. It’s a very local way of doing things, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We’ve been in Telangana for years and this neighborhood is our base. It is nothing special to look at, but we get things done. Most of us grew up not far from here.
