In 1998, Gene started with an outreach program in Asia’s largest slum community – Cheeta Camp. The initial focus, for the first 2 years was to get HIV+ patients accepted in the community and identifying the needy via door-to-door outreach. Gene distributed food rations to 350 widows, school fees for children between the ages of 3 to 6 years of HIV+ widows and provided medical assistance to HIV+ patients. In the 3rd year, Balwadis and Study Classes were started to help children in the community cope better with their studies and improve their academic performance.
In 2005, Gene along with his wife Shobha Bajpai D’Silva set up ‘Jeevan Dhara’ – meaning ‘Lifeline’, with the vision to provide a ‘Lifeline’ in the community for a better tomorrow. For the past 21 years, we have undertaken several initiatives to alleviate the pain and suffering of the poor – from the beginning, with Balwadis in 1998, to a De-Addiction Center in 2008, and various programs customized to help empower the underprivileged in society.
