Unnatikirah was started in 2012 for children and women coming from the most deprived community living in Dwarka,New Delhi.
Since then we have worked on developing their lifestyle by providing education to children through tuitions and Special Classes.
On the way to my work saw some children gathering some things from the garbage and eating it … Surprised at this act I enquired and found that they were collecting cake crumbs from the garbage , this was really a very disturbing sight and so I followed them to see where they lived and was welcomed by another surprise,many women were sitting in a garbage dump and segregating the waste. The men folks were loading it in big trucks.
Since then we have worked on developing their lifestyle by providing education to children through tuitions and Special Classes.
