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 The absence of art teachers & outdated pedagogy hinders their ability to express & create with confidence, impacting their overall well-being & joy of learning.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 President Innovation Challenge. We also won the Cognativ Inc. Award at the Milken Penn GSE Business Plan Competition. 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 program, aligning with our mission for holistic development for every child in India.
