250 million+ children attending public & low-income private schools in India lack safe spaces for creative expression & holistic development. The absence of art teachers & outdated pedagogy hinders their ability to express & create with confidence, impacting their overall well-being & joy of learning. Unless urgently addressed, the education system will leave millions ill-equipped for the future.
Our multifaceted approach addresses the gap in India's education system & enhances children's learning environments. We partner with the government, nonprofits & schools, training their educators to conduct visual arts & SEL classes. Our proprietary curriculum fosters skills like communication & critical thinking while instilling an appreciation for visual arts. Leveraging our WhatsApp chatbot, we provide real-time support to educators & measure our impact on student behaviors.
Our impact is evident in the increased ability of educators to facilitate visual art & SEL classes & the improved creativity & expression of students. In the academic year 2023-24, 90% of children showed positive growth in creativity, collaboration & communication outcomes. 92% of educators reported that our training aided them in building better relationships with their students. We create sustained impact by building educator capacities & equipping children with essential skills for well-being & thriving.
We've expanded our reach, establishing partnerships with state & city governments to scale across two states in India. Our impact extends globally, reaching 1.2 million children worldwide. Initiatives like our research on art education's impact & an advocacy e-magazine deepen our systemic engagement. Recognized by the Harvard Innovation Lab, we won the Social Impact Fellowship - Fall 2023 & are finalists at the President Innovation Challenge - May 2024. We aim to impact 5 million children by 2027 through government partnerships & reach remote areas through grassroots nonprofits. Our WhatsApp chatbot enhances support to educators, while R&D drives innovation like early childhood art-education program, aligning with our mission for holistic development for every child in India.
