Our Contribution To Dharavi.
There is nothing more important for us than giving back to the community we grew up in.
After-school programmes
with Rude Network
We run a centre for after-school classes to help students from standard 1 to 12 engage in positive activities outside of school hours and learn the curriculum.
Vocational training
with Rude Network
We train women and girls to become skilled Henna artists. Not only does this ensure financial independence for our students, but it also provides an opportunity for them to grow their networks and business and learn real-world skills.
Scholarships
with Urmil Trust
We provide annual scholarships to students who are out of school or whose families are unable to afford the school fee.
School supplies
In addition to our ongoing programmes, we run annual drives for notebooks, pens, pencils, and other school supplies for the new school year. Last year, we hosted these drives with thesupport of several organisations, including Urmil Trust, Rude Network, and HemkuntFoundation.
Employing locals
Our guides are recruited from Dharavi and trained for free to become some of the most knowledgable and reliable tour guides in the city. The income generated from our business directly benefits the families and the future of the local community. Today, we have a five-star rating on Tripadvisor.
Supporting communities through the pandemic
During the pandemic, many families suffered immense financial losses in Dharavi. Overnight, people had lost their jobs and homes. This is when Mumbaikars from outside Dharavi donated ration kits, toys, notebooks, clothes, pens, and more, and continue to do, so that every family felt supported. Even today, our staff and volunteers run pickup services across the city for people who would like to donate.
