Hamari Pahchan

A Delhi-based NGO founded in 2015, Hamari Pahchan has been a transformative force in helping the underserved sections of Indian society over the last decade, enabling and empowering the overlooked sections of the society to carve out their own Pahchan, that is, identity. With focal points spread across areas including education, hunger, menstrual health awareness, and employment, Hamari Pahchan’s interventions, to date, have helped educate over eleven thousand children and over two thousand women gain employment, consistently uplifting sections of our society that are relegated to the peripheries by public policies and discourse.

At the heart of the NGO’s vision is an approach to philanthropy that is rooted in India’s unique socioeconomic contexts, deeply stratified and complex, calling for a holistic approach to address systemic injustices through socially sensitive outreach and grassroots interventions. This is visible in how HP is committed to broadening access to quality legal and medical aid through awareness and distribution drives, along with building and developing the skills of marginalized individuals of all ages to help them enter the workforce.

It is this radical vision that Hamari Pahchan upholds, one that deeply resonates with PaperBound, that brought about this collaboration, working together to achieve a collective vision of a gender-inclusive future. Dreams should never be bound by one’s socioeconomic limitations, and one step at a time, both HP and PaperBound are committed to enabling more young voices to dream and get closer to achieving their dreams.
