Vallabh Welfare Foundation

We are up on the 6th floor of the Madhuban building here in Matunga. If you know H.R. Mahajani Road, it’s a pretty easy spot to find, though traffic can be a bit of a headache sometimes in Mumbai. We’ve been operating from this space for a bit now. It’s not a huge office, just a practical place where we get our work done. Most mornings start with a lot of tea and figuring out what needs to happen for the day. Being in Matunga, there’s always something going on outside, and you can hear the city noise even all the way up here. We don't have fancy furniture or anything like that. It's mostly just desks, a few chairs for visitors, and lots of paperwork stacked in corners. Sometimes the elevator in the building acts up, so we end up walking the stairs, which is quite a workout. Our team is small, just a few local folks who care about the neighborhood and the city. We spend a lot of time on the phone or talking to people who drop by. It’s a bit cramped when everyone is in at once, but we make it work. We try to keep things organized but sometimes things get messy when we're in the middle of a big project. That’s just how it goes here. It isn't a corporate setup where everything is shiny and perfect. We just do our bit every day.
