Saamanjay Welfare Foundation

Saamanjay Welfare Foundation is based in Karampura, specifically at H-168 within the Karampura Complex. This part of West Delhi is quite industrious and has a lot of small businesses and workshops all around us. The complex itself is always buzzing with activity, and you can see people moving goods back and forth all day long. Our office is a practical space where we manage our welfare projects. It isn’t very large, so we have to be quite clever with how we use the room we have. We’ve got some sturdy old desks and a few chairs for when people drop in to talk. Most of our work involves a lot of coordination and talking to people in the neighborhood. We don’t have a lot of bells and whistles here. There is a ceiling fan that makes a bit of a clicking noise, but it keeps the air moving, which is what matters. We usually bring our lunches from home and eat together while we talk about what needs to be done next. Being in the 110015 area means we are right in the middle of a very hardworking community, and that definitely rubs off on us. We don't try to make things sound better than they are; it's just a lot of hard work and keeping track of various small tasks. We stay late some nights when the workload piles up, but that’s just part of the job here and we don't mind it.
