Zariya Humanity Foundation

Zariya Humanity Foundation is tucked away in Cuffe Parade. If you know Mumbai, you know this area is a mix of everything. We are up on the 10th floor of Venus Apartment. Being at 101 Venus gives us a bit of a view, but we spend most of our time looking at what needs doing on the ground. It’s a decent sized apartment turned into a workspace. We don’t have fancy receptionists or big corporate signs. It’s just us sitting around a couple of tables with our laptops and phones. People often ask why we chose such a high floor, but it happened to be available when we needed a spot. We deal with all sorts of humanity projects. It might be helping a family get back on their feet or organizing small drives for stuff people need. We don't spend money on big ads because that feels like a waste. Instead, we just talk to people. Most of our support comes from word of mouth around the building and the local shops nearby. Mumbai City can be a tough place to navigate, especially for folks who don't have much. We try to bridge that gap a little bit. It’s simple work, really. We just show up every day, take the elevator up, and start calling people. It’s not glamorous, but it is real. We like the quiet of the 10th floor when we have to think.
