Azad Aurat Foundation

We are located at 23, Elliot Road, and that is where most of our daily work happens. It is not a very big space, just a couple of rooms where we keep our files and meet people from the neighborhood. Azad Aurat Foundation started because we saw things in the community that needed a bit of attention. We don't have a big team of professionals or anything like that. It is mostly just a few of us who live nearby and want to help out. Some days are really quiet and we just sit around catching up on paperwork or cleaning the front area. Other times, it gets a bit crowded when folks drop by to ask questions or share what’s going on in their lives. We try to keep the door open as much as possible. You won't find any shiny signs or expensive furniture here. We use what we have, and most of our furniture is stuff we've had for years. It feels more like a home than an office, honestly. Our focus is on the women around here, listening to their stories and seeing if there is a practical way to make things a little easier. It's not always easy, and we make mistakes sometimes, but we keep showing up. That is really the core of it. We are just a part of the local street life on Elliot Road, trying to be a steady presence for anyone who needs us.
