The Founder's Journey

From Fieldwork to Global Impact

How weekly volunteering in Delhi settlements evolved into an international-award-winning movement for maternal welfare and ethical storytelling.

Chapter 01November 2024Grassroots Foundation

The First Listening Circles: Groundwork in Delhi Slums

Srishti began volunteering with Hamari Pahchan NGO in November 2024, assisting underprivileged women with welfare scheme documentation and education access in slum communities around Delhi. What started as practical advocacy quickly became something deeper — she was listening.

Key Milestones & Focus:

Assisted women directly with birth certificates, ID documentation & welfare forms
Identified practical and digital hurdles that prevented families from accessing legal rights
Shifted from routine documentation to active, empathetic listening circles

Focus Area: Slum settlements across Delhi

Chapter 02Mid 2025Ethical Listening

The Turning Point: 100+ Stories & The Silence of Privilege

Through 12 months of weekly on-ground sessions, Srishti documented 100+ life stories with informed consent. She observed a fundamental gap: even in the same city, marginalized voices were entirely absent from mainstream narratives. Schools, festivals, and public discourse were missing the stories of the women she sat beside every week.

Key Milestones & Focus:

Documented 100+ firsthand life stories with rigorous informed consent
Observed the stark gap between grassroots struggles and mainstream urban discourse
Committed to bringing marginalized women's voices into premier public forums

Focus Area: Mahipalpur & Peri-urban Delhi

Chapter 03Late 2025Creative Advocacy

Voices Unheard: Translating Grassroots Truth to Stage Verse

Srishti founded Voices Unheard as a creative sub-initiative — adapting ten of the most powerful stories into slam poetry, which she performs at school events and literary festivals. She also recruited and trained five student volunteers in ethical storytelling and consent-based narrative collection.

Key Milestones & Focus:

Adapted 10 powerful community narratives into original spoken-word slam poems
Performed live across school assemblies, cultural summits, and literary evenings
Recruited and trained 5 student peer volunteers in ethical storytelling and consent protocols

Focus Area: The British School & Lit Festivals
