Overview
An Eye-Opening Experience in Sanjay Colony Slum tour!
Discover the heart and spirit of Delhi with our Sanjay Colony Slum Tour,a journey that reveals how people live, work, and thrive with dignity and hope.
Tucked away in South Delhi, Sanjay Colony covers just 25 acres, yet it’s home to around 50,000 residents. Walk through its narrow lanes filled with life and laughter, visit local temples and mosques, and see how faith and community blend beautifully here.
Most families earn their living from recycling work, turning waste into useful materials — often earning less than three dollars a day. Every day, local women sort nearly a ton of fabric, showing remarkable strength and perseverance.Despite the challenges, you’ll witness smiles, creativity, and togetherness everywhere. Every face tells a story - of hard work, pride, and resilience.
In Sanjay Colony, people don’t just survive… they create joy and meaning from what little they have.
Join us to experience a side of Delhi that will open your heart and change your perspective.
