Dadas Hakuna Matata Foundation

We set up the Dadas Hakuna Matata Foundation right here in Wagholi, near the Haveli area. It's just a small group of us working out of Gat No 1420. We didn't want anything fancy, just a place to do some good. Most days you'll find someone at the office trying to sort out the paperwork or talking to neighbors about what needs doing. It’s not a big corporate setup or anything like that. We just live around here and saw that some things could be better if someone just put in the time. The name sounds cheerful because that's how we try to stay, even when things get a bit stressful with the daily grind. We deal with whatever comes our way, mostly local stuff that people bring to us. Sometimes we’re busy, sometimes it's quiet. People stop by quite often just to see what's happening. We’ve been at this address for a bit now and we've gotten to know the rhythms of the street. It’s just us, working with what we’ve got. We don't have a huge team of experts, just folks who grew up nearby and wanted to stay involved. It’s practical work, really. We spend a lot of time on the phone or walking around the neighborhood. If you’re passing by Gat No 1420, you might see the sign, but it’s just a regular building like any other. We keep things simple and try to be helpful when we can. That’s pretty much the whole story of how we ended up here.
