Wac Global Human Rights Foundation

Wac Global Human Rights Foundation is situated at S.No 33/F, No A/404, in Shre Venkatesh Puram, Pune. It’s an apartment-style office on the fourth floor. Getting up there is easy enough with the lift, though it sometimes acts up. The space itself is pretty standard. We have a few desks squeezed into the main room and a lot of filing cabinets along the walls. Human rights work involves a lot of documents, so we are always surrounded by paper. We try to stay on top of it, but sometimes the stacks get a bit high. It’s a quiet place to work, which is good because we have to do a lot of reading and writing. We aren't a big agency with a huge budget. We just use what we have to keep things moving. The view from the window shows a bit of the surrounding neighborhood and the hills in the distance. We like the location because it’s not too far from the main road but far enough to avoid the worst of the noise. We spend our days answering emails, making calls, and trying to help where we can. It’s not glamorous work, and we don't pretend it is. We just show up every day at Shre Venkatesh Puram and do what needs to be done. That's the way we’ve always done it.
