Taba Foundation

Taba Foundation is based in Bhiwandi, which is always a very active and crowded place to be. We are in the Abdul Shakoor Apartment building on the first floor. If you come looking for us, we are in Wing C, covering flats 112 and 113. It is a bit of a maze in this part of town, but once you find H.No 77, you are pretty much there. The office is usually full of papers and people coming in and out throughout the afternoon. Bhiwandi has its own rhythm, and we are right in the middle of it. Our space isn't very large, but we made use of both flats to make sure there is enough room for everyone to sit. We spend a lot of time on the phone or talking to people face to face. It’s a lot of mundane work, checking documents and organizing things for the people who rely on the foundation. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but that isn't really a priority for us right now. We prefer just getting on with the day. Sometimes the stairs in the building get a bit cluttered, but that is just how it is in these big apartment blocks. We have our routines and we stick to them. It is a very down-to-earth environment. No one wears suits here; we just dress for the weather and get to work. We are just a local group doing our part.
