What We Do

From Scratch is a charity dedicated to helping children express themselves through art!

At From Scratch, we believe that every child has the right to explore and express their creativity through the power of art. We strive to provide opportunities for children to participate in art programs and activities, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

Our team is made up of passionate individuals who are committed to making a difference in the lives of children. We come from diverse backgrounds, but we all share a common goal: to empower children to express themselves through art. Our team consists of art educators, child psychologists, social workers, and volunteers who are dedicated to ensuring that every child feels valued and supported.

Through our programs and activities, we aim to foster creativity, self-confidence, and self-expression in children. We offer a variety of art workshops, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and digital art, as well as programs focused on music, drama, and dance. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of children of all ages and skill levels, and we provide a supportive and nurturing environment where they can explore their creative potential.

From Scratch relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue providing our programs and services. We are grateful for the support of our community, which enables us to reach more children and make a positive impact on their lives.

Thank you for visiting our website and learning more about our charity. We invite you to explore our programs and get involved in any way you can. Together, we can help children express themselves through art and make a lasting difference in their lives.
