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 a small business unit run by Ganesh. Disabled and orphaned at birth in the slums, Ganesh rose to establish a unit that makes up cycled paper and plastic products from discarded materials. He only employs people who are disabled like him - giving them one of the only lifelines available. We will follow it up with a stop at Greenland School. A low income private school where teachers and volunteers are working hard to improve student performance, and bring joy. We will finish at the Swabhimaan Community Center and Clinic - refuge for people from their daily struggle. A Swabhimaan volunteer will walk you through the sites.
