"Basti Nizamuddin is a 12th century village that grew around the shrine of the Sufi Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya and was engulfed over the centuries by the city of Delhi. The shrine attracts landless, rural migrants, the disabled and the destitute, and runaway children from the poorer regions of India and Bangladesh." Hope Project Charitable Trust
