Eqkuiaccessfoundation

You can find Eqkuiaccessfoundation at E-18A in Dilshad Garden. It’s a pretty standard residential block, and we like it that way because it keeps us close to the people we’re actually trying to help. The office is really just a converted part of a house. We have a small sign outside, but it’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Inside, it’s mostly just desks and a lot of files. We focus a lot on making sure people can get to the services they need, hence the name about access. Dilshad Garden has a lot of parks and wide streets, so it’s a nice place to walk around when we need a break from the screens. We don't have a big budget for fancy furniture or anything like that. Most of what we have was donated or bought second-hand. It works for us, though. We spend a lot of time on the phone or meeting with local families who have questions about accessibility or healthcare. Sometimes the neighbors come by for a chat, and we’re happy to have them. It’s a very local operation. We aren't trying to be some massive national organization; we just want to make things a little easier for the folks around here. Every day is a bit different, but it usually involves a lot of coffee and a lot of problem-solving. We try to keep the front garden tidy for the neighbors.
