Al Dua Educational & Welfare Foundation

You can find us at Flat No. 107 in Jamia Nagar. It’s part of Abul Fazal Enclave-II, right near Shaheen Bagh in the Okhla area. We are on the upper ground floor, so nobody has to climb too many stairs to reach us. The address can be a bit long to write out, but it’s a familiar spot for anyone living around here. Our office is basically a flat that we have repurposed for our work. It gives it a very neighborly feel. There are always people coming in and out, whether they are asking about educational programs or looking for some kind of assistance. The kitchen area is mostly used for making coffee and storing old folders. We have a few big tables where we spread out our work. Sometimes the street outside gets very loud with the market nearby and the kids playing, but it's a good kind of energy. It keeps us reminded of why we are here in the first place. We don't have fancy leather chairs or a boardroom. Most of our meetings happen over tea while sitting on whatever chairs are available. It’s a practical space for practical work. The walls are covered with notices and calendars to keep us on track. Dealing with welfare and education means there is no such thing as a quiet day. We just take things one step at a time and try to help where we can.
