Annadhan Welfare Foundation

Our office is at A-14, Lily Apartments on St. John Baptista Road in Bandra West. It is one of those classic Mumbai buildings, nothing too modern or fancy. Living in the 400050 area, you see the big gap between people who have enough and those who are struggling. That is why we started the Annadhan Welfare Foundation. We focus on food because it is the most basic thing someone needs. We are not professional chefs or big donors. We are just regular people who coordinate and make sure food gets to the right places. Bandra is a loud and busy place, always something going on. St. John Baptista Road has its own unique feel. We like being here because we are close to the people we help. Our apartment-office is often full of bags and boxes of supplies. It is not very tidy, but we know where everything is. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us and some volunteers who help out when they can. We don't spend any money on fancy furniture or decorations. We would much rather use those funds for the food programs we run. If you come by Lily Apartments, you might hear us on the phone or see us packing things up. We don't do much marketing. We just focus on the daily work. Mumbai is tough, and we just try to help those who are hungry.
