Cifa Welfare Foundation

Our office for Cifa Welfare Foundation is in the Shekhawati Market in Chirawa, specifically at units 16, 17, and 18 in Ward No. 29. Being in a market means there is always something going on outside our door. There are sounds of people bargaining and motorcycles revving throughout the day. We have three rooms that are connected, so we have a bit more space than some of our neighbors. One room is mostly for storage, while the others are where we sit and work on our projects. The market is an old building, so the walls have some character and the floors are a bit uneven in places. We like being in the heart of Chirawa because it makes it easy for anyone to find us when they are out doing their shopping. We usually have the door open to let some air in, though it also lets in all the street noise. It is a practical place to work. We have some old steel cupboards for our documents and a calendar on the wall to keep track of the dates. The staff here are all locals, so we often spend time talking about what is happening in the ward or how the crops are doing this year. It is just a normal office in a busy market.
