Paint Our World is a humanitarian project dedicated to making a positive difference to the lives of street and slum children in Kolkata, India. It does this by providing fun art classes for the children aged 3-10 years and then having fundraising exhibitions of their artwork in the UK.
Our objective is to use all funds raised to provide the children with a better schooling experience. This includes language classes like English, extra-curricular classes like Art and providing them with a child friendly school building that is clean and equipped with adequate sanitation facilities.
Most importantly, our objective is to let these children who live in the most unimaginably difficult circumstances and who in their everyday experiences are often treated as outcasts, know that they are loved and cared for.
