Febina Jagrati Foundation

Febina Jagrati Foundation is over in the Camp area of Pune, right in Aurora Tower on the fourth floor. It’s a very busy spot, right above the Union Bank on M.G. Road. If you know Pune, you know how crowded M.G. Road gets, especially on the weekends. We can hear the honking and the crowds from our office windows all day long. We work mostly on awareness and helping people understand their rights and opportunities in the city. The lift in Aurora Tower is one of those old ones that takes its time, so we often just take the stairs if we’re in a hurry to get to a meeting. Our office is usually filled with people coming and going. We have a few desks pushed together and a lot of chairs for visitors. We don’t really follow a strict 9-to-5 schedule; someone is almost always here late finishing something up. We drink a lot of tea from the stall downstairs. The work can be tiring because there’s always someone who needs help with something new. We don’t have fancy brochures or a big website that gets updated every day. We just focus on the people who walk through the door. It’s a bit chaotic sometimes, with everyone talking at once, but we manage to get the important things done. Being in the heart of Camp makes us feel like we’re right where the action is every day.
