Aaddaps Welfare Foundation

Our foundation is located at Flat No. 701 in the Mulundsane building on 90ft Road in Mulund. If you know Mumbai at all, you know that 90ft Road is a pretty well-known stretch. Being up on the seventh floor gives us a bit of a view, but mostly we are just looking at more buildings. The Aaddaps Welfare Foundation is run by a small group of us who wanted to do something useful with our time. We don't have a big fancy office with a lobby. It’s just a regular apartment that we’ve turned into a workspace. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, but we have a couple of fans that keep us going. We spend our days answering calls, sorting through mail, and trying to organize our projects. It’s a very local vibe here. We often go down to the local shops for lunch or to grab some stationary. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big words or polished presentations. We just want to get the work done and help out where it’s needed in the city. Mulund is a good place to be because it’s a mix of everything, and we feel right at home here. Sometimes our neighbors ask what we are up to, and we just tell them we are working on some welfare stuff. It’s all very straightforward and honest, just like the people who live in this area. We usually finish up late and head home to our families.
