Improving the life quality of 15,000 homeless people with support from Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives

Homeless citizens have a right to a dignified life. This belief has propelled HPPI to work for and together with homeless citizens in Delhi for the past eight years in cooperation with the Delhi Urban Shelter Development Board - DUSIB and other departments of the government of Delhi and several local NGOs. In 2016, Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives joined hands with HPPI in this initiative to establish the Homeless Resource and Service Centre in Delhi. The Centre will reach out to 15,000 homeless citizens over a period of 3 years. The Centre provides legal advice, health services and awareness, job counselling, linkages to social welfare schemes and support to victims of domestic violence. Sport and cultural events are also organised in shelters for the enjoyment of homeless children, youth and adults.
