Torchbearers Foundation

We are based in R K Puram, specifically in Sector 5 at Taj Apartment. Our unit is 1C1, and the building is right on RTR Marg. It’s a busy intersection, so there is always a bit of a hum from the vehicles passing by outside. The foundation has been operating out of this apartment for some time. It is a bit of a tight squeeze with the four of us and all the supplies we keep for our local programs. We have a balcony, but it’s mostly used for storing old boxes and a few potted plants that we forget to water. RK Puram is a central spot, so it makes it easier for people to reach us from different parts of South West Delhi. We don't have any shiny plaques or marble floors. The floor tiles are a bit chipped in the hallway. We spend most of our mornings planning out what needs to be done for the week and the rest of the day actually doing it. There is a lot of paperwork involved in being a foundation, so we are often surrounded by folders and ledgers. We use simple fans instead of air conditioning unless it gets really unbearable in the summer. It’s just an ordinary office where we work on things that matter to the local community. It can get a bit chaotic when everyone is talking at once, but we usually figure things out. We usually take a lunch break together at the small table in the corner.
