project why & enfances indiennes

a special relationship

how it began

a meeting at a social event in Delhi in 2002, an invitation to drop by project why that was all it took to create what was to become a beautiful encounter of two worlds. Enfances Indiennes was thesimple answer to a silent plea for help!

many seek help and it is so easy to give it, a little envelope with a few notes or a cheque rapidly scribbled, and everyone is seemingly happy.

but once in a life time, one comes across a special being with a heart as big as the world itself, who decides to go all the way and give a humane and real meaning to the word help.


xavier ray is one such man.
today xavier is of course very much a part of project WHY as he sits on the ground at a staff meeting, a very special person to Utpal,



and a great favourite of Radhey our imposing scooter driver who loves driving Javire sahib around town.

who are they

xavier is ably helped by Marc and Michel, who we have unfortunately not seen much of.

What is so special about this almost symbiotic relationship between pwhy and EI. It is difficult to say: a meeting of two world in the tiny streets of a Delhi slum, where one shares a meal on the floor, the true meaning of human relationships where nothing matters but the meetings of hearts, it is difficult to say.
one has to come and see it, and then maybe you will believe that the world is a tiny place.

Thank you

It is thanks to EI and the Fondation Leila Fodil, that we have a roof on our head. Today the maison why provides a safe haven to our special kids and our tiny tots

Enfances Indiennes has been a yeoman supporter in all our activities over the past 4 years. It has sent us many dynamich and commited volunteers - Angelique, Pierette, veronique to name and few, ans stood by us in all our moments of difficulty.
Without their presence we would not have been able to do continue our work.

Enfances Indiennes sent a special educator, Clarisse Mastalier to spend six months working hand in hand with the project WHY team.
enfances Indiennes also sponsored a beautiful short film "the other WHY' made by our favourite movie maker Cedric Labourdette.

Last summer we had the visit of Christian Bonrepaux, a journalist from Le Monde. he spent over a week interacting with all at project why and upon his return wrote a wonderful 6 page article in the October issue of le Monde de L'Education.

Today Christian is a member of enfances Indiennes and so are Cedric and clarisse.
