Dinheiro Micro Foundation

You can find us at House No 300, which is in Block -B of Saraswati Vihar in Pitampura. It is basically a house that we’ve turned into an office space for our micro foundation work. Pitampura is a crowded area, but our block is relatively calm compared to the main market. The front gate is a bit squeaky and needs some oil, but it gets the job done. Inside, it looks like a typical home office with laptops on dining tables and wires running across the floor. We do a lot of small-scale support work, which involves talking to people and checking their details. It is very hands-on and keeps us on our feet. Sometimes the internet goes out when it rains, and we all just sit around talking until it comes back. We don’t have fancy uniforms or a big lobby. There is a small park nearby where we sometimes go for a quick break if the weather isn't too hot. Most of the residents in Saraswati Vihar are used to seeing us coming and going at odd hours. We try to keep the noise down because it is a residential street. Dealing with micro-level tasks means we pay attention to the little things that others might skip. It is a slow process sometimes, but we are used to it by now. The tea lady comes by twice a day, which is the highlight for most of us. We finish our work and lock up before it gets too late.
