Overview

Join Bengaluru high schooler Dia Z. Panakkat on a walk through Ejipura slums - perhaps Bengaluru's largest disadvantaged neighborhood. The challenges of poor infrastructure, unchecked development, and large scale urban migration come to focus here. Poverty and associated effects are all around.

Yet, this is also a place where the human spirit triumphs over adversity.

We will stop at the Swabhimaan community center - where children of all ages from the neighborhood come for curricular tuitions and after school programs.

We will then stop at the Swabhimaan Clinic - where doctors consult and distribute medicines for an all inclusive price of Rs. 10 (12 cents) per visit.

Finally we will stop by at the Swabhimaan grocery distribution center where free staples are served to the most in need.

Dia and another Swabhimaan volunteer will walk you through the sites. All proceeds are given back to people in the community through Swabhimaan Trust, a non-profit working in Ejipura since 2002.

What's included

  • Drinking water is available. We encourage you to carry a bottle
  • A guide who is a community leader intimately familiar with Ejipura
