Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust, Showcasing Bhendi Bazaar

The Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT) is a public charitable trust created to redevelop one of India’s most vibrant, albeit congested, communities. Like any change, SBUT’s efforts to relocate residents to transit homes were met with resistance and mistrust. The trust’s persistence, however, paid off with over 2,300 families moving out of the neighbourhood until one day, when disaster struck.
