Dreamalive Welfare Foundation

We are based out of Flat D-302 in Mauli Park, which is in Shindewadi over in Bhor. The Dreamalive Welfare Foundation isn't a huge operation. It’s a handful of us working from a residential apartment. We chose this spot because it's where we are and it keeps costs low. We spend a lot of time in Shindewadi talking to the people who live here. There’s always someone who needs a hand with something, and we try to be the ones who provide it. We don't have a corporate structure. If something needs doing, one of us just goes and does it. It's a bit informal, but it works for us. Living and working in the same area means we really know the struggles people face around here. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big offices or expensive furniture. We'd rather put that money into the projects we are working on. The Bhor area is quiet, which helps us focus on our plans. We meet in the living room and go over what needs to be done for the week. Sometimes it’s a bit chaotic with all the paperwork spread out on the floor, but we know where everything is. We don't have a PR person. We just talk to people directly. It’s a more honest way to do things, and it builds trust with the neighbors. We aren't looking for awards or recognition. We just want to see people doing a bit better than they were yesterday.
