Seventeen years, one simple idea.
That education, dignity and justice shouldn't depend on where you were born. We've worked quietly in Delhi since 2009 to make that less of an accident and more of a guarantee.
To empower the unseen half of Delhi.
We run four flagship programmes — Shiksha, Maitri, Prakriti and the Anti-Corruption Cell — built around the people who are most often left out of the city's progress: children of daily-wage workers, women without an income of their own, neighbourhoods without green cover, and citizens denied their basic entitlements.
Transparency is not a policy. It's the product.
Every rupee received is tagged with a cause code. Every programme is audited. Every quarter we publish what we spent and on whom. If we cannot show the books, we shouldn't be asking for the money.
A timeline.

Fifteen children, four volunteers, a stack of slates in West Sagarpur. The after-school programme that would become Shiksha.
