ART FOR HEART
Because every child deserves the right to dream.
“For these children, art is a distant luxury.”
These were the quiet yet powerful words spoken by a teacher during one of our recent visits to a remote school in East Rukum. In that moment, it became painfully clear: while many children around the world draw with colourful pens and markers, children in these Himalayan villages are creating with mud, leaves, charcoal, and scraps—not because it’s artistic choice, but because it’s all they have.
Art for Heart is our response.
This campaign aims to bring the joy and freedom of artistic expression to children who have never held a proper pencil or opened a sketchbook. With your support, we will deliver thoughtfully curated art packages to schools in some of the most under-resourced regions of Nepal—starting with Rukum, Dolpa, and the outskirts of Kathmandu.
Each package includes:
-
A sketchbook
-
Drawing pencils & eraser
-
Colour markers & crayons
-
Sharpener and pencil case
Just £25 will sponsor a full art set for four children.
That’s the cost of a meal out—but the impact it can make is lifelong.
Why Art?
Art builds confidence, empathy, and creativity. It gives children the power to imagine new worlds, to express unspoken feelings, and to see themselves as creators—not just survivors. In places where access to basic needs is a daily challenge, art becomes a form of hope.
Through this campaign, we are not only giving tools—we’re planting seeds for future artists, illustrators, and dreamers who just need a little colour in their lives.
