Vision Mission statements
Our Aim: We aim to systematically teach and help students learn through a
series of inter personal programs. Our programs involve facilitators who
major in different forms of Arts.
Our Belief: We believe, for them to see a brighter way out is to encourage
their creativity, by enabling their passions and aspirations to be developed in
a variety of ways. This is very important for their development as individuals
and as part of the larger society.
Our Desire: We want each of these individuals to tap into their creative
potential and express themselves with confidence, dignity and self-respect as
an equal in society, with a chance to explore equal opportunities.
Overview
A registered not for profit organisation with a purpose of providing young people vocational training
and life skills. We work with 2,000 young people across Mumbai who are under Juvenile Protection.
We run weekly classes in dance, English communication, art, metalwork, woodwork, tailoring, and
hairdresser/barber. We also lead a professional program - Alternatives to Violence for teachers in
which they learn mechanisms to cope with conflict management and empowerment.
We are supported by volunteers and individual sponsorship. We welcome opportunities to discuss
corporate sponsorship as well as how to support organisations in their CSR activities.
Most of the young people we work with are from orphanages, institutions or part of Justice Protection
programs. They typically are aged between 8 to 18 years of age.
Projects

Music & Singing: We currently hold regular music and song workshops with musicians and
singers in which the young people sing to some of their favourite songs. We are planning to
hold music lessons in guitar, harmonica and other instruments with qualified musicians.
Singing classes will also form part of our programs.

Dancing: This is a popular program with some young people developing great skills in this
area. They are able to compete in local dance competitions.

Painting & Drawing: We will be starting a program for young people to professionally learn
to draw and paint. Subsequently exhibitions will be held of their work.

Arts & Crafts: Specific programs are being developed for young people to learn Art & Craft
skills using recycled materials and for them to participate in Earth & Energy projects.

English Language Classes: We run English language classes as a second language in both
speaking and writing. Some of the young people will be able to enter into
English examination classes in due course.

For Teachers: We run a professional program called Alternatives to Violence program which
enables teachers to recognise and manage conflict situations, strong feelings such as anger or
violence and build better relationships.
