Trilokpuri, East Delhi, India

About Trilokpuri

Trilpkuri is the first adopted community of FFEC. It a low income area located in East Delhi. FFEC works in 5 slums and adjoining Chilla Village covering 8000 households or around 40,000 people. These are the unauthorized areas/slums or jhuggis with primarily internal migrants from small towns and villages.  
Most of these families work as daily wagers and fall below the poverty line. Being uneducated and new to the city, they struggle to make an earning and find it difficult to navigate through the system to secure documents required for enrolling their children into schools or avail other social benefits from the government they are entitled to. 
FFEC’s programs are designed to change that. By focusing on education, securing identification documents, enrolling into social schemes, skill-building, and youth leadership, we work hand-in-hand with communities to open doors to opportunity, self-reliance, and lasting change.

We have three community spaces – a children’s learning center, Kadam, a digital center and a women’s center that allow children, youth and women to learn, get together and have fun in a space environment. 

Our success in developing young leaders that are implementing projects ranging from education, mother-child health and nutrition to registering families into social benefit schemes in Trilokpuri have enabled us to replicate the model in other communities.
