Alternative Realities

Alternative Realities Standing on the Mahim beach next to the nearly dilapidated fort, Abhishek Bharadwaj couldn’t help but notice the stark contrast that the city had to offer.

Alternative Realities addresses the needs of the homeless through a comprehensive, multi-sector approach, including coalition building, awareness-raising, and creative advocacy campaigns. In front of him was the reality were hundreds of homeless citizens and behind him was Mumbai’s soaring realty, the glitz and the glamour. That’s when he decided to name his organization Alternative Realities (AR)

. The organisation was started in 2004 to address the issues of identity, shelter, health, livelihood and education for the homeless citizens in Mumbai by employing diverse methodologies such as street theater, studies, survey/research, and media advocacy. AR strives to achieve a life of dignity for the homeless citizens by sensitizing the civil society towards the issues of homelessness, creating geographical groups of the homeless citizens, building coalitions between varied sectors and influencing state policies in their favour.
