Our challenges… We work (a) in M-East
ward, Mumbai, an area which has Asia’s largest and oldest dumping ground. It is
a mountain of health hazards, with a set of migrant population that is
highly disenfranchised and in an environment where micro intervention focus,
not sustainable holistic community development, seems to be the flavour of the
season.

were not as intensive. The geography has

Two changes which you would like to
observe in the philanthropy space… A better understanding of and
a greater commitment to social processes of change. A departure from the framework of a
“Giver” to greater accountability and self-monitoring vis-a-vis one’s
responsibility towards social welfare
