Ejipura slums is perhaps Bengaluru's largest. 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. You will meet the teachers and volunteers working hard to improve student performance. 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. A 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.

This was a highlight of our time in Bangalore. Ashif and his daughter Dia were excellent guides, and it was lovely to be able to chat and ask questions of such dedicated people who are really making a difference to the lives of others. Visiting the school and talking with the pupils was something we will always remember fondly.

This seriously was the best thing we did in the whole of India!! Our guides Dla and Ashif were volunteers themselves with the amazing NGO Swabhimaan and we met the inspirational founder of the organisation was also amazingly generous with his time telling us all about the initiatives bringing health, education and income to the women and children in the community. What a privilege to have such an experience! Any guilt or concerns I had with the concept of going on an ethical slum tour were immediately dispelled when I realised the adoration the community has for the organisation and the sheer joy our visit brought to the children and women we met along the way. After our tour was finished, Dla and Ashif remained generous with their time and helped us to organise a driver for the rest of the day from amongst the community. Memories of this day will last forever!

Having the opportunity to glimpse into a slum in any country constantly reminds me of how fortunate we are. It fills me with even more joy to know there are people who can offer help and lend a helping hand to the most vulnerable in such conditions. Basic education, food, and accessible healthcare are not a given in Ejipura, and Swabhimaan is doing amazing work—it’s truly an experience to witness it. Everything was well-organized. I’m also grateful to Dia for providing me with so much useful information.
