Tarbiyat Sociotech Foundation

Our office is over in Jasola, in the Old Village part. We’re at B-33/1-A, on the second floor. You have to go to the left side to find us. It’s a busy area, very traditional in some ways but changing fast. We’re Tarbiyat Sociotech Foundation, which sounds a bit technical, but our daily life is very much about the basics. We spend a lot of time on the second floor looking out at the village rooftops. The space is filled with cables, old monitors, and a lot of paperwork. It’s a bit of a mix between a tech workspace and a community center, though neither description is quite right. We’re just trying to figure out how to use simple tools to help people out. Some days we’re successful, and other days we’re just fighting with the internet connection. We don’t have a fancy lobby or a sign that lights up at night. It’s just a plain door with our name on it. We eat lunch together at a small table and talk about the neighborhood. It’s a very local operation. We don’t have a big corporate strategy; we just look at what needs to be done each week and try to do it. It’s honest work, and it’s often tiring, but being right here in the heart of Jasola makes it feel worth it. We're just regular people trying to do something decent with what we have. There is always someone here if you need to stop by or just want to chat.
