An art program in the slums of Mumbai is more than creativity it’s a lifeline. For children facing poverty, overcrowding, and limited opportunities, art provides a safe space to express emotions, build self-worth, and develop essential life skills. It fosters focus, critical thinking, and collaboration, while offering a break from daily hardships. On a broader level, it strengthens communities, celebrates local culture, and reduces the risk of youth falling into harmful cycles. By helping children dream beyond their circumstances, this program transforms art into a powerful tool for hope, healing, and change.
