Our History

This CSR Capacity Building project is for the development of Slum Art Project associated with School of Art. Its mission is to mentor, restructure the mindset and to build up creative talent of children from the slum. These children will be put under thorough tutorship by creative art teachers to help develop their skills and in turn make income for themselves and their community. This project will have twenty intakes (children from ten slum) between ages ten to seventeen. They will undergo trainings from the School of Art. The training runs for a three months. Artworks will be made by each child every week which will be showcased in an exhibition put together by School of Art at the end of the one year. A sustainability model will be created around the Artworks and funds generated will be shared as 40% to community development, 30% to the child artist to sustain his education and mental health and 20% goes to the sustainability expansion of the Slum project and 10% for the art gallery who sales the painting. In the course of the one year training, each child has the benefit of mentorship from his trainee as well as one on one consultation. This gives the child a chance to a better mindset, orientation and fulfillment. Funding of this project will come from private sectors, individuals and international donors that are children and art-minded.
