About

We work in West Bengal, a vast slum in India capital city, Kolkata, currently the largest unplanned settlement in the world.

It’s unclear how many people live in Kolkata but estimates range from 1 million to 1.5million people living in just 2.25 square kilometres.

Residents live in cramped one-roomed homes made of mud and iron sheets. Water is collected in jerry cans from water points around the slum.

Life is hard in India but many face the challenges with strength. It is a lively place to be. As you walk around you hear music blaring and people talking.

There are no public schools, hospitals or clinics in Kolkata though there are many run by community members and NGOs.

Team

We have a dedicated team of Board members, instructors, friends, mentors and community members who volunteer their time and expertise to maximize Bajirao impact.
