Meet Rani, Shamika and Dharmendra. This trio steers project why with great brio!
Rani and Shamika may look like fun loving girls but do not get deceived by their appearance. They run the Govindpuri, Giri Nagar and Okhla centres with an iron fist and a huge heart. Their motto could be : nothing is impossible.
Dharmendra leads the women centre which is his baby as he set it up single handedly from its very conception. Dharmendra may look quiet and even withdrawn but he is a hard task master and leads by example.

In the cockpit

This incredible team has made Anou Ma'am almost redundant. The project runs like clockwork thus vindicating the decision many cynics mocked: that of employing only people from the community. Whereas once Anou was spending all waking hours on the field, she now runs it from behind thes scened like a gentle prompter

This is a one man show and what a show! Naresh began teaching senior secondary students way back in 2001 when we took on what seemed like an impossible challenge: prepare a bunch of boys for their class X boards. His classroom then was the pavement in a harsh winter, his salary: loads of cups of tea.
He has scome a long way now and in the last decade or so, ensured that every student he teaches passed the dreaded Boards with flying colours.

Secondary Okhla

The children wanted a secondary section and children always get what they want at project why. So a couple of years ago Okhla got its secondary section. Today Probir and Sonia teach 80 kids from class VI to XI
It is serious work but these two great teachers do it with aplomb and flair.
