About Delhi
Wazirpur community comprises of 13 blocks and is around 40 years old.
Most residents of Wazirpur are migrants who have moved into this area in search of employment. Yet, a gainful form of employment evades them. Mostly daily wage labourers with women also employed as domestic help, the scope of employment is narrow and the wages meager to support the basic needs of the families settled here.
The most pressing problems in this area pertain to the complete lack of hygienic practices and cleanliness in the area. Addiction is also a prevalent problem with large number of youth and children involved in such activities.
