💬 Navigating Perspectives
In the crowded slums of Bengaluru, where survival often overshadows dreams, a beacon of hope shines through the efforts of Proud Indian, an NGO dedicated to empowering children through education and art. This organisation, founded by Chenthil Kumar and Sarjun H., is not just providing basic necessities but is also nurturing the creative potential of underprivileged children, offering them a pathway to a brighter future.
A Brush with Hope: Art as a Lifeline
For children like 12-year-old Nadia, art is more than just a hobby; it's a lifeline. Living in a tiny shed with her family, Nadia finds solace and expression through painting. Proud Indian recognizes the importance of art in these children's lives, understanding that it can be easily overlooked in the struggle for basic survival. Co-founder Chenthil Kumar emphasizes that external factors should not dictate who gets to practice art. This belief led to the creation of Kalariti, a platform for children to showcase their talents and receive recognition.
Education as Empowerment
Proud Indian also addresses the educational challenges faced by children of migrant workers. Many parents, focused on earning a daily wage, struggle to provide their children with consistent schooling. Proud Indian, in collaboration with other NGOs, runs community schools that act as "bridge courses," helping children catch up on their education and pass crucial exams. These schools divide students based on their learning capabilities, ensuring that each child receives the attention and support they need. Additionally, Proud Indian provides spoken English classes to enhance the children's communication skills, further empowering them for future opportunities.
From Relief to Revolution
The seeds of Proud Indian were sown in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, which deeply impacted Chenthil Kumar. Witnessing the struggles of those affected inspired him to help those in need. Years later, while working as an engineer in Bengaluru, Chenthil met Sarjun H., and together they decided to focus on improving the lives of children in the city's slums. In 2019, they officially launched Proud Indian, aiming to provide education and support to children with limited access due to their circumstances.
Painting a Brighter Future
Through initiatives like Kalariti and their community schools, Proud Indian has already impacted the lives of thousands of children. They provide not only a platform for artistic expression but also the training and resources necessary for these children to pursue their dreams. As Proud Indian continues to expand its reach, it holds the promise of transforming countless more lives, empowering children to overcome adversity and paint their own bright futures.
