Kaafideep Foundation

Our office is at 203 Unity Plaza, which is right on Durga Devi Marg. It’s a busy part of Lucknow, especially being so close to Mehtab Bagh and Hussainabad. You can hear the noise from the street all day long, which is just part of being in this area. Kaafideep Foundation started here because we wanted to be in a place where people could actually reach us. Unity Plaza is a bit of an older building, but room 203 is comfortable enough for what we need to do. We don’t have any fancy decorations or leather chairs. It’s mostly just shelves full of files and a few old desks we’ve had for years. We spend our days mostly handling paperwork and meeting with local folks who walk in off Durga Devi Marg. It’s a very grounded way to work. We don’t talk much about 'missions' or 'visions' because that’s not really how we think. We just think about what needs to get done before the sun goes down. Hussainabad is a great area with a lot of history, and we like being a small part of its daily life. Sometimes the elevator in the plaza is a bit temperamental, so we end up taking the stairs a lot. It’s just a normal, everyday kind of place where we try to stay useful.
