Our mission


Our women centre which was set up last month vindicated some of our decisions that may have looked hare brained at first. But as is always the case at project why we followed our heart.
To begin with the women's centre is providing shelter to three women who are trying to rebuild their lives.
A small creche for working slum mothers - mostly domestic workers - has opened its gates, as well as a primary support outreach and we have almost 100 children in the centre.
Income generating skills have been introduced and we already have sewing and beauty classes. We have found a new place in Madanpur khader Village (near Apollo Hospital). The place has two units. One would be the residential unit and the other the activities one. The residential unit has 2 rooms and the other has two rooms and a huge veranda as well as a big terrace.
thanks to our friend Bea, a railing has been erected allowing us to use the large roof which is great in the winter. Thanks to Shankar we have solar lighting and the large solar panels are a sight to be seen
