Bandra East Community Centre (BECC), established in 1974, is a registered voluntary social work organization (NGO) catering to the socio-economic development of the slums and pavement dwellers. The first major project taken up by BECC was the rehabilitation of the slum now called Siddharth Colony. BECC is surrounded by a slum population of about 1.5 million. Over the years, BECC has grown in strength both in terms of work and staff. BECC has 24 staff members and more than 20 volunteers who work tirelessly to realize its vision.
BECC conducts a number of Awareness, Educational and Developmental programs. It renders its services to all the needs irrespective of caste and creed. |  |

We work with a single minded objective of development and up-liftment of the marginalized sections of our society. There is a constant feedback process between the governing body and the grass root level staff to meet the needs of the under privileged. Although we encounter various problems and hindrances in achieving our goals, we remain focused on what needs to get done. | |
